The development of this powerful and very famous German tank began in late summer of 1941 to counter the excellent Russian T-34 and KV-1 tanks. The final two designs were personally presented to Hitler on his birthday by two very famous German tank manufacturers, Henschel & son and Porsche(Porsche went on to make German cars).
After a tough decision, Hitler finally chose the Henschel design to go into mass production.The Tiger fought in many famous battles including the battle of Kursk and the battle of the bulge and was one of the best tanks in World war 2.
