It fought in southern Russia, taking part in the Don campaign and the withdrawal from Stalingrad. It fought at Kursk and was later attached to Schweres Panzer-Regiment Bäke in August 1943. This unit fought near Cherkassy and 503 remained a assigned to it until April 1944 when it was sent to the west. The 1st Kp. was refitted with 12 Tiger II (together with 2 Tiger I) in Ohrdruf while 2. and 3.Kp. got Tiger I. 3. Kp. was requipped with Tiger II in the Maly le Camp in the End of July 1944. It fought the Allies in Normandy inflicting heavy losses but also sustained heavy losses of their own, not least due to the air attacks. After refitting in Sennelager it was sent to Hungary in October 1944 where it took part in Operation Panzerfaust to arrest the Hungarian government. It was redesignated Schwere Panzer-Abteilung Feldherrnhalle on 21 December 1944. When comparing the small number of Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf.E (Sd Kfz 181) Tiger Tanks produced (only 1346), to the more than 120,000 T-34s and Shermans combined, one can appreciate the psychological impact of this model, at least from the Allied tank crew perspective. In its concept laid the very core of the German conception of a heavy tank. Something which targeted absolute excellence in design, combining lethality with the best possible protection, only given to elite crews, all this regardless of the cost. Excellent engineering and training versus numbers underlined all this philosophy and was reflected, later, in small tactical unit operations. The Tiger was a formidable machine that pushed the boundaries of armored warfare and forced the Allies to devise better tanks. It powerfully symbolized all the might of the Nazi war machine, as dreamed off by Hitler, and later turned through propaganda into a “Wunderwaffe” (wonder weapon) in a mostly defensive war. The Tiger, like all new tanks, had teething problems at first and it was never an easy tank to maintain, but it was always deadly effective (with a 10:1 up to 19:1 kill ratio), earning a capital of fear that was unrivaled during the war. Allied crews found themselves hopeless with their inadequate machines, having to improvise costly tactics to deal with it. The Tiger gave fame to a few WWII tank aces, like Michael Wittman, something rarely heard of before, since the life expectancy of a tank crew was always quite shorter than that of fighter pilots.
