502nd Heavy Panzer Battalion
The 502nd Heavy Panzer Battalion ((ドイツ語:Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 502)) was a German World War II independent armoured battalion (German: ''Abteilung'') equipped with heavy tanks. The battalion was the first unit to receive and field the Tiger I or ''Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E''. It fought on the Eastern front. It was one of the most successful German heavy tank battalions, destroying 1,400 tanks and 2,000 guns.
==Formation==
The 502nd was formed on 25 May 1942 at Bamberg from the 35th Panzer Training Battalion ((ドイツ語:Panzer-Ersatz-Abteilung 35)). On 23 July Hitler ordered that the first Tiger I tanks be sent to the Leningrad Front. The 502nd became the first unit to receive Tiger Is〔Doyle and Jentz. ''Tiger I Heavy Tank'', p. 21〕 when on 19 and 20 August 1942 four Tiger Is were sent to the unit, which only partially equipped one company (German regulations called for a heavy tank battalion of three companies, with 45 tanks in total).〔Schneider pp. 3–4〕 On 29 August 1942 the 502nd arrived at the Leningrad Front, but was not immediately engaged in combat. Befitting the unit equipped with the heaviest tank of the time, the 502nd carried an emblem of a mammoth.
