Guys, please forgive me but you are straying waay off topic! And, by the way, the Maybach that powered the Tiger was not a Diesel

Nor was the Maybach HL 120 TRM used in the pzkpfw IV and later pzkpfw III or the Maybach HL 108 TR engine used in early pkzpfw III. German tanks tended to be petrol engines.

The V12 petrol HL 210 P45 and HL 230 P45 were used in both Panthers and Tigers. A good article:

.. and yes as usual WAY off topic.

Not off topic, The subject on the last page was the Pe-8, so I wrote about my wish for the diesel version.

Not sure if these are diesels, probably not as they were quickly replaced. They had longer range but poorer performance apparently. 96 made including 2 prototypes later ones were equipped with radials. Russian comms on this one:
