In World War Two, in Tunisia, the US Army was opposed by German Tiger I tanks and Panzer III tanks. The German Heavy Tank Battalion was initially organized with both heavy and medium tanks in the same unit. The theory was that the medium tanks could be used for reconnaissance, and also for close in security. The WWII era heavy tank required a lot of maintenance and so having medium tanks that could provide flank security, and scouting and area security was a good idea.
The tanks in these photos are all Roco Minitanks.
Boley Models also makes a Tiger I as #2131.
Trident models makes and excellent Panzer III, model #87082.
