A few historical facts:



Panzer VIII Maus
Decision production superciężkiego tank Maus was taken by Hitler himself, June 8, 1942, during the conference on weapons of armored troops. Fuhrer ordered prof. Ferdinand Porsche that this began work on a prototype superczołgu. Maus, or Mouse. Such a name would mislead spies Allies (it was assumed that spies are not interested examination so innocent-sounding code name). Porsche immediately began work on the project, which was given the designation Nr. 205. Initially it was assumed weight of 150 tons, and ultimately 188 tons (mass combat with ammunition and fuel). Its main weapon was the gun caliber 128 mm with a supply of 68 rounds (planned equipping it as a cannon 150 mm), and coupled with her gun caliber 75 mm (200 rounds) and the MG 34 machine gun 7.92 mm (1000 rounds). Reached a speed of 20 km / h and had a range of 193 km and consumed 1,400 liters of fuel per 100 km. What was interesting was it only a few times was less than the weight of the entire tank Panzerkampfwagen I.
The hull is made of steel armor plates. Armor front had a thickness of 240 mm, located in its spacious interior of the drive unit with a 12-cylinder engine, driven by its generator and two electric motors. The thickness of armor was very diverse, but it was one of the most armored vehicles of the Third Reich.
Produced only two copies tank Maus - prototypes: V-1 (instead of the tower had weight) and V-2 (with complete tower). Krupp factories were looted by the Red Army. After the war, they found some unfinished hulls. Soviet engineers examined them. They found that it makes no sense to develop this project. The only existing copy of the tank Maus (consisting of hull prototype 205/1 and 205/2 of the tower prototype, without interior fittings) is now in the Russian museum in Kubinka near Moscow.
The tank was to be "floating bunker", but because of its sensitivity to air attacks the project was abandoned.
