Historical Information

Sd.Kfz.184 Elefant was a powerful German tank destroyer developed on chassis taken from out-of-production Tiger(P) tanks. These vehicles were first used in combat in 1943 during the Battle of Kursk, where their formidable armament (88 mm Pak 43/2 gun) wreaked havoc among the Allied armored forces. The Elefants later also saw action on the Italian Front until the late stages of the conflict – their armor and firepower made them very dangerous opponents, despite troublesome mechanical reliability and limited mobility.
