Description

Ferdinand Porsche was an Austrian engineer born in 1875. In the interwar period, Prof. Porsche founded his automotive consultation firm, which gradually grew into today’s preeminent Porsche AG automobile company.
Before the war, the Porsche firm was responsible for the design of the “Volkswagen” — or “People’s Car” — a simple model known today as the VW Beetle.
During the Second World War, however, Mr. Porsche’s firm had no choice but to play a grudging but consequential role in designing military vehicles for the Wehrmacht.
The Porsche Tiger and Ferdinand Tank Destroyer chronicles the developments of Porsche’s massive “Maus” tank and describes the firm’s other armored-vehicle designs, with special emphasis on the VK 4501 (P) Tiger prototype and the “Ferdinand” tank destroyer.
