| Notes: Hitler and Dr. Porsche's dream of an invulnerable land battleship were carried to an extreme in this behemoth. Two prototypes were in trials and one may have been used against the Russians in the final defense of Germany. Technically, the Maus was a marvel, but it would have been of little practical use and the resources poured into its development could have been better used elsewhere. |
