"Tiki" was a slang name used by German tank crews to refer to the Tiger 1 tank. Similarly, in English, the Tiger Moth training aircraft used to be called a "Tiggy" by British aircrew.

The tank in the photo looks like it was in an SS unit, judging from the lapels of the crew and officers.

So these are the depths I have plummeted to as the result of having a misspent un-PC childhood fixated with military hardware.... :)
