Five completed turrets(mounting the dreaded 88cm KwK 43 L/71), ready to be mounted on Pz.Kpfw.VI Tiger Ausf.B chassis, were still at Henschel Kessel when occupied by the American forces in March 1945. All still have hangers for double link track welded to the turret sides. The last turret was outfitted as a Panzerbefehlswagen VI Tiger Ausf.B (Sd.Kfz. 267)with an antenna base mount on the turret roof behind the loaders hatch. The ring mount for the anti-aircraft MG was not welded onto the cupola periscope guards on the second turret from the left. The anti-aircraft was MG mount was present on the other four.
This version Panzerbefehlswagen or command/observation AFV carried carried only 63 rounds of 8.8 cm ammunition to provide room to accommodate the extra radios and equipment, and had additional armoring on the engine compartment. The Sd.Kfz. 267 was to have used FuG 8 and FuG 5 radio sets, with the most notable external changes being a 2 metre long rod antenna mounted on the turret roof and a Sternantenna D (“Star antenna D”), mounted on an insulated base (the 104mm Antennenfuss Nr. 1) which was protected by a large armored cylinder.
