Though many AAR's reported clashes with Tigers, they were actually facing Panzer IV's. So, if indeed true, does anyone know the one exception? You'll never guess what went up against them.

Not surprised. There were only three units (101st SS Heavy Panzer Battalion, 102nd SS Heavy Panzer Battalion and 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion) with Tigers in Normandy, and all three fought exclusively in the British sectors, where the ground was more conducive to armored warfare.
