Schwere SS-PanzerAbteilung 501 (Heavy SS Tank Battalion 501) was the independent heavy tank battalion of the 1. SS-Panzerkorps from the fall of 1944 to the end of World War II. It fought its battles with one of the most powerful armored vehicles of the era: the Panzerkampfwagen (armored fighting vehicle, abbreviated PzKw) VI Tiger B. The tank was also officially called the Tiger II, and often unofficially referred to as the Königstiger, or "King Tiger."
