The Russians built 100.000 tanks of which 83,000 were lost....there were only ever 1400 Tigers and that total includes rebuilds. Comin' at you from East and West, I make it....141,647 vs 1400 slow moving Tigers with limited field/bridge range/access and a logistic problem in having to dismantle wheels for rail transit....they should better have spent the Reichmarks on Panzer IV's en masse!
