In April 1945, as Allied forces advanced into Germany, the scarcity of German heavy tanks led to the consideration of deploying old Tigers from training facilities for combat. Consequently, a unit comprising 6 Tiger tanks and several Panthers from the Bergen training ground was assembled under Oberleutnant Fehrmann's command. This makeshift battalion engaged in combat with Allied armored divisions for a brief period before all tanks were either destroyed in battle or succumbed to mechanical breakdowns.
