The Elefant (factory designation SdKfz.184) is a unique item for enthusiasts of Wehrmacht armored technology.

About the Vehicle

The SdKfz.184 Elefant was designed based on the failed Porsche Tiger heavy tank project. The vehicle was equipped with the powerful 88 mm PaK 43/2 L/71 anti-tank gun and thick armor plating. Only 91 units were produced – they were mainly used by the German Army between 1943 and 1945. Its most famous combat use was during the Battle of Kursk on the Eastern Front. After modifications following the Battle of Kursk (improved armor, addition of an MG 34 machine gun), the Elefant also fought on the Italian front. Despite technical difficulties and susceptibility to infantry attacks, it became renowned for its extraordinary firepower and resistance to fire from Allied tanks.
