This was a superheavy German tank developed in late 1944, only two protoypes were completed, only one of them recieved a turret and armanent before the Allieds invaded the factory they were being made in, but the Germans tried to destroy the prototypes and fled. But the Russians captured both prototypes, and because the armed one had steering problems, they put the turret of the armed one on the hull of the unarmed one to, the only Maus tank is now housed in a museum in Russia. This superheavy tank had 8.5 inches of armor on almost all sides, and housed a 130mm gun. Vtol to rotate turret, pitch for barrel elevation, roll for steering.

@Tully2001 yep
@Waemoth I'll change that too
@Jackie ooohhhhh
I believe the Germans didn't receive the chance to destroy them. The two prototypes were the Alpha, with turret and armament, and the Beta, simply a hull. The Alpha chassis had some structural/steering problems, so the Ruskies that captured them put the Alpha turret on the Beta body to test it. It's currently in a Russian tank museum.
@Himynameiswalrus Well, you weren't really able to do it justice because of not being able to use XML edit or nudge, but, having that in mind, it's decent. Oh, and also, I know I'm being annoying, but it's the PanzerkampfwagEn.
@Waemoth I changed it, do you like it?
@Waemoth I'll change it real quick
Good job. But, it's the Pz VIII, Pz VII was the Löwe.
