The Elefant (SdKfz 184) was a German heavy self-propelled gun of the Second World War designed by Ferdinand Porsche, and originally called the Ferdinand after him. The Elefant consisted of a Tiger I (P) chassis mounted with an 88 mm Pak 43/2 gun and later models also carried a machine-gun. The Elefant carried a crew of six and was powered by two Maybach HL120TRM engines providing a top speed of 30 kmh and a range of 150 km. The Elefant first saw action during Operation Citadel at Kursk in 1943. Although the Elefant could invariably knock-out any tank it came across, it was an easy target for infantry to attack from the crew's blindside.
