These guns would not be strong enough to penetrate the Tiger's front or side armor, so it would have been entirely possilbe that the Tiger I tank would have been able to take that many hits from all sides and still drive away.

Yes....
but eleven were from 76.2mm shells - thats the main gun of the T34 as well as the main Soviet AT gun - thats nothing to sneeze at when you consider the other stuff. 3 anti tank mines?!
And it STILL kept going for 60km?!?
