On October 20th - 1943 a wooden mock-up of the enormous vehicle was shown to the OKH planners who authorized that a prototype be finished by April 1944. Two Jagdtigers were built with the Porsche-designed longitudinal torsion-bar suspension. During field testing - this arrangement proved entirely unsatisfactory - which further delayed production of the tank destroyer. The initial series was set at 150 vehicles - but an order issued in October 1944 stipulated that when these had been completed - production capacity was to be switched over to the Panther. This mandate was reversed in January 1945 - and assembly of the Jagdtiger was to be resumed as fast as possible.
