History and Application:

The Panzerkampfwagen VI(P) was a prototype heavy tank designed by Ferdinand Porsche. It was developed at the request of the German military authorities during World War II, in competition with the Henschel design that ultimately became the production version of the Tiger I tank. Due to its complex drive system and high failure rate, the Porsche project did not enter full production; however, the Tiger (P) hulls were used to build the Elefant/Ferdinand self-propelled gun, which became famous on the Eastern Front, notably at the Battle of Kursk in 1943.
