Tiger Innards.

Another clip of Tiger 131 being run about but with the important difference that some footage is from inside the tank, very rare glimpses of the internals of the beast while it's running:

Only just seen this thread - so, is the Tiger steered by a steering wheel then? I thought tanks were steered by side levers that braked the tracks seperately? Which system was/is the norm, in WW2 and today?

Levers would be the usual method of steering. Various differential and braking mechanisms could be linked up to these. The Tiger is not unique in using a wheel, some British light tanks (Tetrarch and it's big brother Harry Hopkins) also used a steering wheel.

great videos VP and Alex. Never knew how big those 88mm shells actually were. Quite amazing how they managed to squeeze 90 odd of them in such a confined space.
