Re: For the Love of Tanks.
The Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus (Sd.Kfz 205) was a German super-heavy tank design, and the heaviest tank to reach the complete working prototype stage in World War II. The basic design known as the VK7001/Porsche Type 205 was suggested by Ferdinand Porsche to Adolf Hitler in June 1942, who subsequently approved it. The design up to then had been the culmination of work done by Porsche who had won the contract for the heavy tank that March. Work on the design began in earnest; the first prototype, to be ready in 1943 was initially to receive the name Mammut (Ger. "Mammoth"). This was reportedly changed to Mäuschen (Little Mouse) in December 1942 and finally Maus (Mouse) in February 1943.

Re: For the Love of Tanks.
Yeah i could have made it harder but most people i know don't seem to know jack shit about old tanks, if it ain't the Abrams M1, M1A1, M1A1HA or the M1A2 then people are usually clueless.

Re: For the Love of Tanks.
my dad has a book somewhere describing it, there is one prototype that was captured by the russians and is visible today in a war museum, but there is an account of one being put into battle, something to the account of 3mph, simply too heavy, but beautiful, german design was the best,that is in aesthetically, however; in truth/functionality many were far from the myths
