King Tiger production dates

Can anyone point me to a listing of King Tiger production dates - a breakdown of the dates as they were produced.
I do know that the very last batch was produced on 31st March 1945 at Kassel, (and a batch the day before that at Kassel). Thanks in advance.

Thanks this is some help. Many years ago I saw a book at a public library that had the list in it with the date of each batch instead of just the month.
I do have all three "Tigers in Combat" books so I may have to get around to spend some time reconciling the numbers from each Kompanie from those books. Regards.

I have OKH Toy Factory -Winninger. It has the JagdTiger production, acceptance and serial numbers. Also, the book states that JagdTiger WERE produced with the 88mm L71 gun, but were waiting on optics, and never accepted or issued. Also, the Soviets completed a JagdTiger for themselves after capturing the plant. Excellent book looking into many aspects of a German tank production plant.
