On 18-19 March 1943 Hitler paid a visit to the city of Rügenwalde / Pommern (Germany) to see a demonstration of the latest Nazi war machines, mainly the largest cannon in the world at that time, the Eisenbahngeschütz "Dora", which had a caliber of 800mm and which was previously used in the bombing of the Soviet Naval Base at Sebastopol. This photo by Walter Frentz shows the Führer examining the Panzerjäger Tiger (P) "Ferdinand", a heavy tank hunter whose chassis was taken from the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger. The name itself is taken from the name of the designer, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche. For the identification, from left to right: Adolf Hitler (Führer und Reichskanzler), SS-Oberführer Prof. Dr.-Ing. e.h. mult. Ferdinand Porsche (Vorsitzender der Panzerkommission), General der Artillerie Emil Leeb (Chef Heereswaffenamt im Oberkommando des Heeres), Generalleutnant Walter Buhle (Chef vom Heeresstab im Oberkommando der Wehrmacht), Generalmajor Hugo Beißwänger (General beim Chef der Heeresrüstung), Prof.Dr.-Ing.Albert Speer (back to the camera, Reichsminister für Rüstung und Kriegsproduktion), and General der Artillerie Alfred Jodl (Chef Wehrmacht-Führungsamt).
