Historical and Technical Information

The Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus was a prototype super heavy tank constructed by Germany during World War II. Designed by Professor Ferdinand Porsche, the vehicle was meant to address the increasing needs for armament and armor. The Maus was characterized by its enormous size and weight, extremely powerful armament including a 128 mm KwK 44 L/55 gun, an additional 75 mm cannon, and a 7.92 mm MG 34 machine gun. It never entered mass production – only two prototypes were built and tested between 1943 and 1945. The vehicle was used exclusively for testing at proving grounds. The project was canceled due to high failure rates and poor maneuverability, but the Maus has permanently entered history as a symbol of the extreme wartime technology of the Third Reich.
