US troops drive a King Tiger German tank that has already obtained its US Army star. Such captured equipment was quickly shipped back to the US for testing and evaluation. Intelligence thus gathered keenly helped in weapons development in the immediate postwar years.
With the amount of material and resources the allies had, can you imagine if allied tank crews had a machine like the king tiger...? The war almost certainly would have been over by xmas 44.

The one in the back ground doesn't look like fighter of any kind.

That's exactly why i asked for a citation. It just doesnt look realistic. It's a shame how much the photoshop geeks are prepared to go on any and every subject. The net is awash with fake pics and fake evidence. That's why i never use the net for any kind of serious historical info.

Kinda video game looking if you ask me.
Second photo was taken in N. Africa. Could be the Tiger Bovington has.

That IL-2 pic is bullsh!t.
The real two-seat IL-2 looked like this:

I should point out that the damage to that IL-2 is beyond what an aircraft can sustain and remain airworthy.
What you're seeing there is a screenshot from the sim IL-2: Sturmovik that's been crudely doctored.

Post # 11477 - Yes, it's Tiger 131 as it was being recovered, and is now in the Tank Museum, Bovington, UK, being the only working Tiger in existence.
