Popular Culture
Famed director and manga artist Hayao Miyazaki wrote a watercolour manga based on Otto's Tigers In The Mud called "Otto Carius: Doromamire no tora (Tigers Covered With Mud)". It was serialized in Model Graphix magazine and ran from December 1998 to May 1999. Originally this manga was planned to consist of three episodes but being unable to complete the story in three episodes it was expanded to six episodes.
Otto has also been immortalized in a Tamiya model kit of him and his crew with a late version Tiger I tank (Item #35202, now discontinued) and Jagdtiger Mid (Item #35307).
The online game, World of Tanks names a gunnery award for him.
