When
engaged they were virtually impervious to all Allied tanks except the
Russian JS-2 and T-34/85 at extremely close ran and usually from the
rear where the armor was weak. When not engaged by other tanks the
King Tigers that actually are shown in photos with severe damage were
hit by rocket-firing Typhoons and 500 lb bombs! NO KING TIGER WAS EVER
PENETRATED BY ANOTHER TANK FROM THE FRONTAL ASPECT- FACT!
Heh, heh. And how much effect did the King Tiger have on the war? No
V-2 was intercepted either. How much effect did *it* have on the war?
The Germans should have been able to win the war with all the
technology and know-how they had. Fortunately they had a dumb**** for
a leader who made it virtually impossible for them to win. If he'd
just said "I wanna rule the world" and left his generals to it he'd
have gotten further than he did.
