About this Model: # 008 was the personal tank of Joachim Peiper (January 30, 1915 - July 13, 1976) more often known as Jochen Peiper from the common German nickname for Joachim, was a senior Waffen-SS officer and commander in the Panzer campaigns of 1939-1945. The yellow turret numbers are standard colors for the 509th so this would have been one of the Tiger IIs that was reassigned to the 501st at the last moment.
