Hitler was impressed with Allied heavy tanks and in 1941 ordered his own. In late 1942 Tiger I's appeared, bigger and better and had a massive 88mm main gun with greatly improved armor. In 1944 the Tiger II, a larger tank arrived with an upgraded 88mm and armor that was almost impenetrable making it the most powerful tank of WWII. Just the sight of a Tiger II caused fear but they were too few and too late. The Tiger's biggest enemy was lack of fuel and mechanical breakdown. was the second unit sent to France to repel the Allied invasion. Along with mechanical problems and fuel shortages Allied fighter-bombers and naval gunfire proved fatal for the 503rd. By September 9, 1944 with just two of the original twenty six Tiger IIs remaining the 503rd was ordered out of France. Number 334 met its end when it ran out of fuel and with no hope of re-supply the crew destroyed it.
