Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, often shortened to Tiger B, aka the Tiger II, informally known as the “königstiger” among troops. While it directly translates to “royal tiger”, it’s the german name for the [Bengal Tiger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_tiger). By far the costliest tank produced by Germany during the war, each had a production cost equivalent to over 160.000 USD in 1944-dollars.

“Royal Tiger” is a mistranslation. Königstiger is King Tiger. Royal Tiger would be Königlicher Tiger.
