Porsche king tigers

Huh? Thats strange. I read somewhere that Tigers lacked machine guns, allowing Russian infantry to advance right up to the Tigers and torch the crews with flamethrowers during Kursk.

That’s a Ferdinand Tiger destroyer, which is a quick convertion of the failed porsche Tiger 1 design. A formidable anti tank weapon but it’s a pitty only 90 were built.

Some of the Tigers 1 and King Tigers had machine guns on top of the turret as far as I know and the turret and the hull of the tank to fight of infantry.

I am so sorry but I do not have any information of which SS divisions it was.
