In 1944, this Tiger 213 tank was used by the 1st SS Panzer Regiment Peipers for defense during the Battle of the Bulge. When the troops withdrew, it was left behind along with five other tanks.
In 1945, all the wreckage was cleared by the Americans. This tank, however, was spared, as it was exchanged for a bottle of cognac. The tank was placed as a memorial in the square in La Gleize.
