When American soldiers arrived in France in June 1944 as part of the alliance to free Europe, they were well trained, fully equipped, and filled with faith.
They believed they were better soldiers than their enemies and that they had better weapons.
Meanwhile, from the common streets of Normandy to the gates of the Third Reich, the Americans found him in full surprise and too naive in front of the German army and their tanks.
As for armoured forces, the change was frightening, with German tanks often superior to medieval American tanks called “Sherman” and Churchill of the British Army, Valentine's and Cromwells.
The third tank, or Tigris known, was at least able to withstand up to 10 amrican or Allied tanks and exit the battlefield.
Tiger had an 88 millimeter ball that with one blow destroyed every Allied heel.
The Germans had another tank known as Tiger B, King Tiger and Royal Tiger, he held a crew of five, had a 600 horsepower engine and a maximum speed of 21.74 miles per hour.
The campaign against the Nazi invasion had waned greatly because the Allies faced the fight against German tanks responsiblely against Tiger 1, and King Tiger.
The fate of the Aletats was only because the German produced only 489 Tiger tanks because frequent air raids had destroyed the factories in which this tank was produced.
