The VK 30.01 (P) was the official designation for a heavy tank prototype proposed in Germany. Only two prototype chassis were built. The tank never entered serial production, but was further developed into the VK 45.01 Tiger (P) .
However, it slowly grew in weight and Henschel redubbed it the VK 36. On May 26 1941, Hitler ordered the production of prototypes for a new heavy tank, resulting in the VK 45 project, and later the VK 45.01 (H) Tiger I. The VK 45.01 (P) or Porsche-Tiger, was later turned into the Ferdinand tank destroyer and used at the Battle of Kursk.
VK 36.01 (H) - re-design of VK 30.01 (H) to incorporate more armour, 8 chassis including one complete vehicle. VK 45.01 (H) - Henschel design accepted for production as Tiger I . VK 45.01 (P) - Porsche's competing design to Henschel's VK 45.01 (H), chassis built to the design were rebuilt as Elefant self-propelled anti-tank guns.
Porsche worked on an updated version of their VK 30.01 (P) Leopard tank prototype while Henschel worked on an improved VK 36.01 (H) tank. Henschel built two prototypes: a VK 45.01 (H) H1 with an 8.8 cm L/56 cannon, and a VK 45.01 (H) H2 with a 7.5 cm L/70 cannon.
