Her loyalty is her honor.

Ah the French one...

Fun fact: konigstiger actually means Bengal tiger.... Bengal tigers have hype of their own in Europe :3

sorry to claim u wrong on this...

Königstiger was later used for Bengal Tiger

early use of the German word Königstiger was refering to english hunts men reports of shooting "royal/king Tiger"... a king or Royal Tiger was just a huge example of any sort of Tiger with a nice pattern... that was the first addopting in Germany of the word Königstiger... later they used Königstiger for the Bengal Tiger

but i thought the word konigstiger was incorrectly used by US soldiers in WW2 in relation to the tiger 2 tank which was also reffered to as king tiger in english!?

Königstiger was the inofficel German name of the Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B Tiger II (Sd.Kfz. 182)

The Allied refeerd to it as Royal Tiger or King Tiger... they got the name from German propaganda.

As I said the early use of the german word Königstiger was the translation of english huntsmen reports... there the "Royal/King Tiger" was just a huge example of a Tiger with a fine black pattern of stripes... later the word Königstiger was used to specific name the Bengal or indish Tiger...
They compare the word "Königstiger" to the word "Zwölfender"(twelfth ends) which means in German a capital stag with mighty twelfth antlers and no own race.

Today the word Kingtiger is officel used for the Bengal Tiger ... but sometimes people still say Bengal Tiger or Indischer Tiger (indian tiger)

History would have turned out much different if Hitler in his stupidity hadnt attacked Russia while Britain was still in fight.
