King tiger, Tiger II, SdKfz182 in military art prints showing King Tigers during the Ardennes Offensive led by Jochim Peiper and on the Eastern Front

Kampfgruppe Peiper by David Pentland   Oberssturmbannfuhrer Jochim Peiper, commander of the armoured spearhead of 1st SS Panzer Division, in conference with some of the officers of other units under his command. Aside form men and tanks of his own division, these included King tigers of the 501st heavy tank battalion and paratroops of 1st battalion, 9th Fallschrimjager regiment.

THE BATTLE -Battle of the Bulge (or Ardennes Offensive):  Throughout December and January of 1945 Hitler's code-named plan 'Watch on the Rhine' took place. Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt was to break through the US line at Ardennes in order to create a German salient or 'bulge' which would isolate Allied forces at the north end of the corridor created by the drive. The casualties were tremendous and included Hitler's elite Panzer units. The German counteroffensive, although pinning US troops for some weeks, eventually failed.  Three Panzer units were used in the operation, the 5th, 6th and 7th along with a troop of English-speaking Germans in US uniforms commanded by Otto Skorzeny. The operation began on 16th December on a 113km section of the front line under the watch of US 1st Army and General Bradley's 12th Army. This section of the front had been quiet in the previous months and so the Allies were taken by surprise, and Allied air support could not be scrambled because of poor weather conditions. These factors allowed the German troops to advance quickly.

The Last Battle, Berlin, 30th April 1945 by David Pentland  Unterscharfurher Karl-Heinz Turk of the Schwere SS Panzerabteilung 503, in one of the units few remaining Kingtigers, defends the Potsdammer Platz along with elements of the Munchberg Division against the rapidly encroaching Soviet forces.

Defence of the Reichstag, Berlin, 1st May 1945 by David Pentland.

On the 30th April, Untersharfuhrer Georg Diers and his crew of tank 314, were ordered to take up a defensive position at the Reichstag buildings. This was one of only two remaining King Tigers belonging to Heavy SS Tank Battalion 503 in Berlin. By that evening they had knocked out about 30 T34s, and the following day led a successful counterattack against the Kroll Opera House directly opposite the Reichstag. Their efforts though, merely postponed the inevitable and by the end of the day the order was given to abandon the position and prepare to break out of Berlin.
