Historical Background:
Tank # 8, belonged to sPzKP Meyer. Hobby Master has even
replicated the unit nickname 'Strolch' which is German for
vagabond.
Prior to Germany losing Sicily, eight Tiger I’s were shipped on
July 28, 1943 to supply an independent unit that was headed for
Italy. This group was known as “Tigergruppe Meyer”, named after
it’s commander and since at the time it was independent of any
other group they took the nickname “Strolch” German for
vagabond. In August through November of 1943 the small group
of eight Tigers were attached to PzJgAbt. 46. Then again on
February 4 1944 the group was renamed Tigergruppe
Schwebbach and attached to the LXXVI Panzer Korps which
was assigned to attack the Allied landing at Anzio.
