Gruppe Fehrmann Tiger I w/ Magic Tracks Sd Kfz 181

The Gruppe Fehrmann was a rather interesting unit that was formed towards the end of the Second World War.
At this time, Germany was under siege from both the East and the West by the Soviets and Allies, respectively, and Wehrmacht units were regularly disbanded and reorganized.
One such provisional unit formed in early 1945 was Gruppe Fehrmann, named after First Lieutenant Fehrmann, who led a formation of six Tiger Is and five Panthers.
These tanks bore an “F” prefix to designate their unit and were numbered F01 to F13.
This unit fought in Lower Saxony on the Western Front against the Allies, and in battles on the Weser and the Aller the German tanks were destroyed one after the other.
The Tigers of this unit were a mix of early and late versions, such as an early production turret and a late production hull.
