This Tiger II was in service with Heeres Waffenprufungamt (Army Ordnance Testing Department) at Sennelager. It was accepted for trials at Sennelager in January 1944 and was not intended to be issued to the troops. The gun that was fitted after it arrived in Britain is of a later type than would have been fitted originally. The tank was put on the museum books in 1952. Its suspension on its left-hand side is incomplete and it is missing its track guards.
