Nibelungen Works, Workshop VII at the end of 1944: workers and Panzer troops work together on final assembly of Jagdtigers. In the foreground, a Henschel suspension has been installed, except for the torsion bars and road wheels. (History Facts)

The lone surviving Jagdtiger with a Porsche suspension stands today at the Tank Museum, Bovington. Captured at the Henschel proving ground at Haustenbeck by US troops, it had probably been cannibalized to prepare another one for action with the ad hoc defense forces around Paderborn. It shows the spare track mounting points to augment its side armor. The gaily colored tubes are cleaning rods for the gun. (Author’s collection)
