Welcome to War and Tactics!    War and Tactics Forum is currently undergoing some modifications that might disable features you are used to. This is unabvoidable as we have to update the forum engine to a new structure that is incompatible with many of the features we had used so far. The good news: WaT will be more secure and stable, and most of the features we uninstalled will be a natural part of the new structure anyway. For the rest we will be looking for solutions.

There were two prototypes of the Maus in operation at the end of the war. One had no gun. The other was complete and tried to take part in the defense of Berlin. The Soviets claim to have knocked it out in combat to the southeast of Berlin.

It appears that you have photos of both.

Good Hunting.

I'm surprised that this project made it as far as prototype testing. What did they wanted to do with this: kill tanks or have the mother of all Infantry support vehicle?

Now, the Maus is a small fry compared to that:
