DESCRIPTION
The “Ferdinand” was a heavy tank destroyer used by German Wehrmacht
Panzerjäger during World War II. It was built in small numbers in 1943 under
the name Ferdinand, after its turret designed by Ferdinand Porsche which had
originally been rejected in favor of the preferred design from Henschel, combined
with tank hulls that had been produced for Tiger I tank requirement, With its
extremely effective very thick Armor and its massive 88mm gun it was a formidable
opponent, which could hit enemy targets up to 2 Kilometers away. The Red Army’s
anti-tank weapons were powerless against the Ferdinand’s abilities. The Ferdinand
remained in service until the very end of the war, finishing it in Berlin. The popularity
of this machine was so high among the Red Army that the name "Ferdinand",
along with "Tiger", became a household name and was often applied to all heavy
automatic control systems in Germany.
