German Tiger Tank

At Vimoutiers in Normandy this German Tiger Tank from World War II stands near the place when it ran out of fuel during the Battle of the Falaise Pocket in August 1944. An American bulldozer pushed the tank into a ditch in order to clear the road. It was left in the ditch until 1975 when it was dug out, restored and placed where it is now. A fearsome weapon, a single one of these Tiger Tanks is reputed to have destroyed several enemy tanks in just 3 or 4 minutes.
