Kampfpanzer Maus: The Porsche Type 205 Super-Heavy Tank

Kampfpanzer Maus: The Porsche Type 205 Super-Heavy Tank

In 1944 the Maus giant battle tank, weighing almost 190 tons, was supposed to help turn the Wehrmachtâ€™s fortunes of war on the Eastern Front. Just two prototypes of this monster were delivered, for its undeniable advantagesâ€•tremendous firepower and virtually impenetrable armorâ€•were outweighed by the disadvantages of its slowness, excessive use of materials in construction, and fuel consumption so high that it was, by that time, far beyond the Germansâ€™ ability to supply. With this volume, Michael FrÃ¶hlich continues the legendary Spielberger series and delves into one of the most curious military vehicles produced by Germanyâ€•the Maus super-heavy tank. For the first time, this book tells the complete story of this vehicle, including its inner workings, accompanied by many previously unpublished illustrations. But that is not all: the book includes another novelty, the complete operating instructions for the tankâ€™s crew!
