Hello all,I've read that a flamethrower was planned for the jagdtiger can confirm it? And where the flamethrower would have been on this tank?

For what is worth, the project is included in Osprey's New Vanguard 015 Flammpanzers - German Flamethrowers 1941-1945 by Tom Jentz and Hilary Doyle. The reference in the book is quite detailed, so I think it can be taken as confirmation of the existence of the project.
The flamethrower nozzle was to be installed in the place of the hull machine-gun (if the flame oil was carried internally, there would be no other weapon systems, though a suggested solution was to use a tráiler to carry the flame oil).
