I am sure you have taken a look already of this theme t T-34/85 turret armed with tiger’s 88cm gun!

I have to confess I did some browse in internet and I was disappointed because I couldn’t find more information about this hybrid except the well known one!
Axis WWII Discussion Group: Stalingrad and Courland equipment

I have had very serious conversation with a friend of mine who is working as engineer specialized in metal machining.
After all pros and counts we came to the conclusion that well equip and experienced team working 1944-45 in a shipyard important for the German army this shouldn’t be an impossible task! Hard to do but not impossible!

I was wondering what could be the designations like this T-34/88cm were
Indicate? The first emblem I am thinking of is the yellow figurativeness Mercedes emblem we know well belonging to 12th army.

But then I thought some or everyone from the crew in this tank should be the same crew serving and fighting with that damaged Tiger from which I they took the gun from. In this case no wonder if that T-34/88cm were indicate with some of the marks belonging to the exactly Tiger I!
First and most likely is the emblem known by Tigers from Schwer Heeres Panzer Abteilung 502.

Second but not less possible is the emblem from Schwer Panzer Abteilung 510

And the third eventual possibility is from Tigers Grossdeutschland Division.

What do you think?

Some maps which shows where Tigers were in action at that time. This is leading me to the though of what Tiger Abteilung units marks this T-34/85 could be indicate with!



I am very curious about this conversion and start my first steps in 1:35!
