A newly-arrived Tiger of SS-Panzergrenadier-Division "Totenkopf" required for the upcoming offensive at Kursk. This is the Tiger of SS-Untersturmführer Walter Köhler (Chef 9.Kompanie [schwere] / SS-Panzer-Regiment 3 "Totenkopf"). The photo is taken after its arrival in Budy southwest of Kharkov in May 1943. The tank still needs markings and camouflage paint; it would become Tiger Nr.911. Köhler himself was killed in action in Tiger 911 near Kljutschi at the south bank of the Psel River during the Battle of Kursk on July 12 1943.
