One vehicle was found in Italy in June of 1944, and many sources indicate this is a recovery vehicle based on the Tiger I. There has been disagreement as to the vehicles function.

Tank Recovery
It is often identified as a BergeTiger recovery vehicle. As many as three may have been built.
The Bergetiger was the name the Allied forces gave to a German World War II armoured tracked vehicle based on the Tiger I chassis. The vehicle was found abandoned on a roadside in Italy with terminal engine problems. The main gun had been removed, and a boom & winch assembly had been fitted to the turret. No other Tiger tanks modified in this manner were ever recovered.

No official German name for this vehicle has ever been located. The Bergetiger's role as a recovery vehicle has been disputed ever since its discovery. The evidence often cited against it being a recovery vehicle is that its crane was not designed to tow the weight of a tank, nor was it equipped with any other common recovery equipment.

Reports of the number of Bergetigers produced varies. No original German documentation to support these numbers has been located. Some common numbers given are:

• Fifty-eight produced from the factory
• Three produced from the factory
• Three built as "field-expedient" modifications in Italy
• Three built as "field-expedient" modifications and one built from a Tiger damaged while still at the factory.
• Only one built as a "field-expedient" in Italy
