Panzer Tracts No.16 mentions the construction of three Bergepanzers on a chassis Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.E Tiger. In 1944, these field reconstructions of Tiger into the form of rescue tanks (bergepanzerov) in 509. schwere Panzer-Abteilung, which were later (9/1944) transferred to 501. heavy tank department.
Earlier, I came across information that one machine served in Normandy, France (?). I do not know the sources of these claims. It is possible that if by chance there was a conversion of another machine, it could also serve in Germany, for example, on test tracks, or directly in the plant for the production of tanks during repairs (similar to VKz 35.01 - bergepanzer, which was created on the chassis of the development branch of Tiger). However, this is only unsubstantiated information.
In the vehicle condition report schwere Panzer-Abteilung 509 from 1.9.1944 there is one Bergetiger.
In the vehicle condition report schwere Panzer-Abteilung 501 from 1.10.1944 there is a pair of Bergetigers. These vehicles appear in the unit's reports for the next two months.
