Sources say that this is the famed second Tiger I the Hoebig
collection was restoring? that would make it the
infamous FrankenTigers little brother.
The Frankentiger that was displayed at Munster since April 2013,
belonged to the Hoebig Collection.
Herr Hoebig, who reconstructed this tank, was once the owner of the
Trun scrapyard in Normandy.
Knowing that several Tiger I's were cut up in that scrapyard,
he probably took all the Tiger I bits and pieces and
started welding them back together again.
Some other parts like the barrel and
wheels came from Latvia (Kurland area) and the hull and front wheels came
from Nahabino military training grounds.
This second Tiger from the Hoebig Collection also came from
the Nahabino military training grounds.
The Frankentiger was sold to fund a second Tiger project, a project that
was supposed to make a second Tiger I in compleet running condition,
not because of some German government conspiracy
like Felton made up in his famous video.
Last year this Tiger I was placed on display at the last moment
at the Militracks event in Overloon.
The vehicle wasn't display ready and the gun
was apparently loaned out from Kevin Wheatcroft,
the tracks are also on loan and were
entirely made from 3D printed parts.
This year the vehicles looks much more completed.
The Hoebig collection wants to make the Tiger
a running example and will use a modern engine
to make this possible.
