Jagdtiger (P) — history and usage

Jagdtiger (P), officially known as Panzerjäger Tiger (P) Sd.Kfz. 185, was a prototype version of the powerful German tank destroyer, based on the Porsche chassis. This vehicle utilized the massive 128 mm PaK 44 gun, considered one of the most powerful anti-tank weapons of its time.

Only a small number of Jagdtigers with the Porsche chassis were produced — the majority of the production was based on the Henschel chassis. The vehicle was used by Germany at the end of World War II, in the years 1944–1945, mainly on the Western Front, for example in the Battle of the Ardennes and during the fighting in the Rhine Valley. Its operational role was limited by the small number of units produced and frequent mechanical failures.
