Japanese Tiger Tank!! - Copper - 12-04-2006

A photograph apparently showing two Japanese Army officers in a Tiger I during a visit to Germany in the winter of 1943. Accounts suggest that a Tiger was to be supplied to Japan in October 1943 but ended up with SS Pz Abt 101instead.

With that on overwatch maybe their Bonzai charges would have actually worked...

Are the dreaded Bonzai charge. Fanatical Japanese gardeners charge forward to prune the enemies bushes! :o)

(And before anyone corrects me, It's 'bonsai' and 'banzai')

I doubt that any would have even made it there.
Germany needed all they could built, to hold off the Allied hordes of tanks.
One perhaps, for the Japs to copy and manufacture under license.
That was a possibility.
Since the Americans nuked the Japs into surrendering, none would have seen action anyway.. ;-)

I just couldn't picture the IJN melting down one of their preciouos destroyers to make a Tiger tank anyways...
