Title: Re: Maus Post by: Mad Russian on 14 March 2009, 22:53:56 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. MR Title: Re: Maus Post by: bongotastic on 14 March 2009, 23:08:12 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: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landkreuzer_P._1000_Ratte (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landkreuzer_P._1000_Ratte) Note the cruising speed of 40kph for the P.1000 :o |
