So, the question is, did the Germans ever call the Tiger II “Königstiger”? Since occasionally I get comments about the Königstiger, some people note that Germans never called it that way, whereas others ask if it shouldn’t be named Bengal Tiger, since the actual animal called Königstiger in German is a Bengal Tiger in English. This will be answered briefly at the end, if you make it that far, since we will take a look at various sources including some primary sources from the German Military Archives.
