Schwere Panzerkompanie SS-Pz.Rgt.2 Das Reich, Operation "Zitadelle", summer 1943

by Vincent Wai

The print depicts the Tiger I #S33 of SS-Pz.Rgt.2 Das Reich during Operation "Zitadelle". This German tiger tank is sometimes called the "fortunate" or "Lucky" tiger because it carried  a personal marking of a Chinese letter - "Fu" which means good fortune or luck. The character was written in a inverted manner and the Chinese word for inverted  is "duo" and sounds the same as the Chinese word for "arrive". So for the word "Fu" inverted, it can be described  as "Fu Duo" and sounds the same as "Fortune (or Luck ) comes"
