That is some great videos. I didn't know there was a running Tiger II. With all the coverage about the running Tiger I in Fury, I would have thought the Tiger II would have been brought up.

Is the Tiger II from the museum at Overloon?

I think it is from a museum in Saumur, France. There really hasn't been any video of it running since maybe 2014. Then I stumbled on these recent gems. Just wanted to share.

I believe there is another King tiger/tiger ii under restoration. Switzerland?

I have stood next to the Tiger II at the old Patton museum. But watching one drive around would be amazing.
