Historical Information

The Sd.Kfz.184 Elefant was one of the most powerful German tank destroyers used during World War II. It was created by converting Porsche Tiger tanks in the years 1943–1944. It was distinguished by its thick armor and highly effective 8.8 cm PaK 43/2 L/71 anti-tank gun. Elefants were mainly deployed by Germany on the Eastern Front—most notably in the Battle of Kursk and in combat operations in Italy until the end of the war.
