Developed in 1943, the Tiger II, also known unofficially as the Königstiger, went into series production at Henschel in 1944. The Königstiger combined the demands for armour protection and firepower in an outstanding manner. The front armour of up to 150 mm thickness could not be penetrated by any projectiles from the on-board guns of enemy battle tanks. The hull sides were armoured up to 80 mm thick. Despite several massive bombing raids by the Allies on the Henschel factory in Kassel, a total of 492 Tiger IIs were delivered to the troops – including the prototypes and 50 vehicles equipped with Porsche turrets. However, not all of these reached the frontline units. A large number of the Tiger IIs were lost due to drive problems resulting from the high total weight or simply due to lack of fuel.
