Just before the invasion of Russia, at the Führer conference on May 26, 1941, the Germany Army Weapons Department decided that the program to develop a 35-45 ton heavy tank should be sped up. Krupp was instructed to develop and produce a tank version of the 88 mm FlaK 41 anti-aircraft gun.After encountering the T-34s and KVs the program was sped up even further. In August 1942 contracts were issued to Porsche and Henschel to produce designs for the heavy tank.Porsche had been working on three prototypes by late 1942 that mounted the Krupp 88 mm KwK 43 L/56.7 These were designated the Panzer Tiger P2. The vehicles were never finished as the transmission required large amounts of copper, which was in short supply. (source)Tank Class: Tank
