About this set
Franz Staudegger 1322 German Tiger Tank immortalises another Eastern Front ace in 2,000 compatible bricks with tactical number 1322 and Tiger I hallmarks. Builders aged 10+ get markings and stowage suited to Kursk-era dioramas. Eco-friendly ABS keeps the 8.8 cm mantlet and track guards display-ready. Pair with Wittmann sets to compare how Germany celebrated individual knights while industrial Allies flooded the front with Shermans and T-34s.
Historical background
In July 1943, Staudegger’s Tiger allegedly destroyed 22 T-34s in one engagement near Prokhorovka—a claim celebrated with the Knight’s Cross though later scrutiny questioned totals. Tank 1322 became a symbol of German quality-over-quantity mythology. Studying ace narratives through brick models reveals how propaganda amplified individual stories while Soviet production charts told the war’s statistical truth.
