leon21 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Henschel & Sohn of Kassel was a well known Manufacturer of heavy industrial and railroad equipment, especially locomotives and large dock cranes. Because of the size and weight of the Tiger 1 and Tiger 2 tanks, Henschel was considered to be the ideal Manufacturer having all the facilities needed to produce such a heavy vehicle, Henschel also had a fine engineering staff and a complete vehicle test facility they also produced Panthers along side the Tiger 1 production due to heavy demand for Panthers, but were the sole Manufacturer of the Tiger 1 & Tiger 2 ( King Tiger ). Here are some photo's taken inside the Henschel factory.
