Unfortunately, the first part of the above statement is very wrong. These are Pzkw VI (aka Tiger II & Konigstiger) tanks pictured - certainly NOT T-34's. For any one who is interested, on-line photos of the T-38/76, T-34/85, and Pzkw VI AFV's are readily available.
While the primary contractors for the Pzkw VI were Henschel & Krupp, Porsche did submit prototypes before the contract was awarded, and several of the production tanks were completed using the slightly more curved-front "Porsche" turret.

Sorry brother but Byron changed his picture. The one he had up was from the recently recovered German T-34(r) that came out of swamp in Poland I think.
