jetzt sehe ich den mal richtig.1980 sprach mein älter Kollege von der Maus (er hat den Panther gefahren) . Wo der stand blieb er liegen .Nicht mal ein Pionier Panzer schob ihn weg.Der Kollege starb 1985
@Andrius0517 I heard one defended Kummersdorf proving grounds (alongside emplaced captured heavy KV2's) and when they had no more infantry cover they scuttled it. That's about the only good use they could've gotten out of that beast anyway, stationary gun platform.
@Andrius0517 Almost correct, Two hulls were made and one complete turret. The first hull was fitted with a "turret mass" for suspension/engine trials. The second was fitted with a complete turret and was at Kummersdorf when the Russians attacked. Many different stories as to whether it actually fought, probably not since no ammo was store at Kummersdorf. Thhis vehicle was blown up by retreating Germans. This complete turret was fitted to hull one and is now in Kublinka Tank Museum.
@sikaman9 That's right Allies pussies can only hide behind bombers because all they can effectively do is bomb someone instead of fighting tank to tank.
@sikaman9 Every time I think of this panzer , I think of a light Todt gunnery on wheels ,effective if u got air domination ,but useless if not .. (excuse my poor english ^^)
this tank was just shit as hell guys... seems big and a huge canon but it was soooo slow and sucked up to much fuel (this designed in times that germany was losing its borders and supplies).... german WW2 operators of this tank even admit they left it behind because it was to much work for their engineers.. :/ still it look awesome xD
This looks very cool, but its horribly impractical. It was simply a squandering of resources; no way in hell this thing could see mass production. With all that metal, they could have easily built two medium sized panzers....and could have even saved enough fuel to power them both!
@Kuner1 More like swindling. They can swindle alot of money out of people, not that hard to swindle sympathy and other emotions out of people. Though i do feel for them, being like 1/4th a jew.
...the germans made 5 maus to attack the russians, but the russian damaged one and it ware to expencive to repair. but still, it is wrong that the last maus today is in a russian museum, it belongs to germany!
This tank was a fail. Of course it was superior on the battlefield to every other tank, in terms of armor, firepower and it's psychological effect. But it was too slow, mobility sucked and it can't cross most bridges. Also, it wasted a lot of resources, germany needed in other parts of it's weapon industry. It's just a wet dream of Hitler, nothing more....
@VpR81 Excellent summing up! A mobile fortress makes no sense - especially when it could easily be knocked out by aircraft or one person with a bottle of petrol and a match. Speed and manouerability are what counted.
I stand by my argument that the Nazis should have concentrated on Pz4 production instead of coming up with these fancy designs that would never have got them anywhere!
I think if the Germans had concentrated on making versions of the Pz 4 instead of all sorts of other weird designs they might have been successful. Of course it is very interesting for us to see a film like this!
It blows my mind how far behind our tanks(USA) where in design. IF it was just a land war and we had to depend on tanks to win it we would all be speaking German now.
@Apockiller That is a over Exaggeration. The Germans lost and Eastern Europe was covered by the red plague known as communism, luckily people's will's prevailed and most still speak they're native tongues.
Talking russian is a far worse experiance then speaking German, in my opinion atleast.
@MokomaSusi That is what i meant. Belongs in Berlin or any other Ally of the WW2.
Plus noone wants to visit russia to see this engineering, trust me when i say it is a poor shithole and makes you wonder why the germans ever wanted it.
@alanheath 1945: Every factory in Germany is destroyed, almost every trained worker is fallen or still fighting and the Allies are marching towards Berlin from east and west... So it's understandable why the quality suffered
@MrRammsteinKicksAss Every factory in Germany was not destroyed, trained workers should have been in the factories not at the front but you are right about the Allies marching from both directions!
@alanheath Have you ever seen pictures of Post-War Germany? Every big city was burned to ashis and so the factories for war resources were. And during the war more and more weapons were produced by concentration camp convicts
@MrRammsteinKicksAss No cities were burnt to ashes. Many of them were extremely damaged but that is not the same as burnt to ashes. Have you seen a city that was burnt to ashes - if so let me know which one it was.
People in concentration camps were rarely convicts. Most of them were not accused of anything, never mind being found guilty of anything.
I am German, but this horrible time which affected all of my achestors so badly and the rest of the world even more, leaves a bad feeling. I am just building and painting model kits (also Russian, US & UK) and I am only interested in technology, but we should never forget the atrocities committed (mostly) by German regime at that time. I think MrRammsteinKicksAss put it right. Enjoy the footage, but keep in mind how many suffered. I hope Made in Germany will be a quality verdict in the future,
@Lirumlarum2007 I absolutely agree with your point of view. Many of us are interested in this period of history and the technology but we can never forget the victims of the Nazis and the Communists.
@Lirumlarum2007 I don't believe that history says anything specifically about Germans, but more or less human nature in general. The holocaust could have just as easily been carried out by the Americans or the British given the right conditions.
@SaucyJake Highly unlikely the Americans or the British would have done anything close to that. you make it sound as if they would have done that if they had the chance.
@dragonxanimation No, I'm not saying that at all. The Americans and British favored mass production over building indestructible machines that were costly and time consuming to manufacture. There's more strength in numbers, even though it would take 4 shermans to defeat 1 tiger.
Tak to jest jak w szkołach się skupia głównie na XIX i XX wieku i biednej Polsce, zamiast mówić też o lepszych czasach.

Google and read "America Breaks Mach 20 Speed in Preparation for War with China" and then google and read "Is China Increasing its Military Spending to Prepare for War?"
@notaire2 I think it would be intended at least partially as a psychological weapon. Having this moving fortress coming after you would be terrifying. Practicality took a backseat to scary baddassery.
and i will admit..that i even have books that say both prototypes were destroyed.......but there were 9more in production.....the russians in one of the articles say they found the one maus abandoned out of petrol...so alot of it is muddled......but i will stick with the acct that both finished prototypes saw combat in the service of the fatherland
Where do you get this stuff from.. There were two (at Kummersdorf) prototypes completed (four hulls were scrapped in 1944!) And a third hull remained at Essen, with the turret for one of the Kummersdorf tanks. So the other "complete" Maus never even had its turret. One was found blown up, the other out of fuel (according to the Germans under evacuation).
@Imppilz ww 2 tanks by george forty..encyclopedia of german tanks ww 2...jane's tanks of ww 2......now i'm trying to find the other 3 books i have on them.....but obviously i admit these 3 have different outcomes of the tanks..but they state 2 were completed....the one book i'm trying to find in my collections says they went into combat on the proving grounds ....both fought till they were out of fuel and ammo.....the one in the russian museum ....is the one that wasn't burnt by the crew....
Well Encyclopedia atleast says both were blown up. It was published in 1978, when was info on the Maus available? I doubt it was common knowledge it was in Kubinka at the time.
No author with credibility has stated they went to battle. It is simply the Maus fans trying to give it a purpose in history. Give the ending of the Nazi regime the mythological pride it lacks.
@Imppilz well look....janes encyclopedia..is the worlds authority on military weapons......from ww 1 to present.....the issue i have is the 90's version....i'm not a maus fan..tiger 2 more my style......i'm just saying what i read...and these books give conflicting reports....so e more open minded.....what if they did go out fighting....i say great then
@Imppilz the russians hauled the intact one by to russia...ok.....so there are conflicting reports....only time will tell which are right....but even you have to admit....we don't know the full story.....
Conflicting reports where? The one hauled by the Soviets was the one that was speeding away and run out of gas.. And was then merged with the intact turret after its capture. For the full story, not really much more worth knowing.
@Imppilz look..i gave you the titles and author..i'm not going to make this my life work trying to convince you otherwise...i've done my duty..for king and country....stars and stripes...fuhrer and fatherland......believe what you will.....i stand by what i said....you do the research
ohhh for the love of mike..........please give me your addresses..i'll mail you copies from the tank books i have......these 2 maus tanks that were built were rushed out to combat the soviet advance.....the germans were throwing everything they had to stop the russians...did a pretty good job of it too..2 million russians died taking berlin
gentlemen the maus saw action in 45..in the defense of berlin..2 were constructed....neither were knocked out by enemy fire..both ran out of ammo and fule....the one was destroyed by it's crew..the other is in a russian tank museum..in excellent condition..now this is the tank they should have used in the capt america movie instead of that thing that looked like a refugee from warhammer
@1942PANTHERV stop talking rubbish, the only maus ever built was after wwii when the russians built one for testing out of two prototypes that were captured, it was never used in combat
@GeneralAdvance Incorrect. The V2 was a completed prototype with a production turret. The V1 was completed, but only as a test bed and outfitted with a mock turret for weight.
@1942PANTHERV OK, may I help here. Two Maus hulls completed, V1 and V2. One Maus turret completed, and one mock test turret that was constructed from wood, steel and concrete. It was used to simulate the actual weight of a production turret. This mock turret was fitted to hull V1. V2 received an actual production turret and under went testing at the Bobligen proving grounds, near Kummersdorf. The V1 with mock turret was captured by the Russians, the V2 with turret did not see battle. con't...
@1942PANTHERV con't... There was no ammo for the main gun at the proving grounds. The V2 was destroyed by Germans evacuating the area, the turret was not destroyed. The V2 turret was recovered and mounted on the V1 by the Russians. The V2 never acted in the defense of Berlin, about 20 miles north of Kummersdorf, and was in fact destroyed at Bobligen.
@Toddinfantry ..look i'm just going by what i've read in the books thats all....the 2 tanks fought on the proving ground..until they ran out of fuel and ammo..the crew destroyed the one..the other was abandoned..captured by the russians.....
@1942PANTHERV I understand that. I don't know what you have read but it is wrong. It would be impossible for both to have fought. The V1 had a mock turret with no weapons and the V2 was undergoing engine / transmission trials not gunnery, there was no ammo. Neither had hull mounted machine guns so the Germans couldn't have fought with just the hull. If you dig hard you can find lots on this tank, try books from European sources..much better info.
Nice armoring, however, it was TOO SLOW-13KPH!! A bunch of T34 will rat-pack the beast and eventually give it good air-conditioning. As I understood from other sources, the Soviets captured one and used it as a command post!
I believe from other sources, the Germans made 2 of these beasts-a poor use of limited resources. The fuel economy was 11gallons to a mile---the loaded weight was 209 tons-therefore, the slow 13KPH was made even slower!
@tartan64tan T-34 was the least of this big bastards problems, more likely getting plowed by the Typhoon/Thunderbolt tankbuste's flying overhead, many panzers met a flamming end from these two planes
@swistak12121 Za to, że byli, są i pewnie pozostaną nacją o wiele potężniejszą od Polski? Za to, że wydali na świat wielu wybitnych naukowców, myślicieli oraz artystów? A może za to, że dowiedli, iż w bardzo krótkim czasie są w stanie posunąć naukę i technikę o dobry wiek do przodu? Zdejmij klapki z oczu, zaślepiony nacjonalisto - osiągnięcia Polski w najmniejszym stopniu nie równają się z osiągnięciami Niemiec. Ba, nawet w sporcie jesteśmy daleko za nimi...
@Uni0nDirect0r Tu chyba chodzi o osiągnięcia w szybkości i sposobach eksterminacji milionów ludzi. Jeżeli uważasz, że zawsze byli silniejsi dowodzi tylko twojej nieznajomości historii.
@piotrekbu4 Zarzucając mi nieznajomość historii, popełniasz wielki błąd. Uważam, że zawsze byli silniejsi oraz o wiele bardziej zaawansowani cywilizacyjnie od Polski, bo takie są historyczne fakty. Inna sprawa, że pewnie nawet nie zdajesz sobie sprawy, z jak wielu odkryć medycznych dokonanych przez Niemców dzięki eksperymentom na jeńcach w obozach koncentracyjnych, korzystamy do dziś. Sam fakt, że udało im się wymordować miliony ludzi, również świadczy o ich sile, prawda?
@Uni0nDirect0r Wielki błąd? Mogę przez to umrzeć, czy po prostu uraziłem twoją dumę.?
"pewnie nawet nie zdajesz sobie sprawy, z jak wielu odkryć medycznych dokonanych przez Niemców dzięki eksperymentom na jeńcach w obozach koncentracyjnych, korzystamy do dziś. "
?!
Człowieku naprawdę masz nasrane w głowie. Dobrze sobie zdaje sprawę, że to jest kłamstwo i dobrze znam historię, nie wiem kto Ci tych bredni nagadał.
@Uni0nDirect0r Nie byli zawsze silniejsi, jeżeli tak sądzisz "popełniasz wieki błąd" (ha!) myśląc, że nie znam historii. Od zniszczenia zakonu podzielone Niemcy nie były nam w stanie zagrozić aż do XVIII wieku, po 100 lat niemal ciągłej wojny Rzeczpospolita podupadła, a przedtem wyprzedzali nas jedynie w mordowaniu się w imieniu tez Lutra i kościoła, kiedy w Polsce panowała jak na tamte czasy duża tolerancja religijna, dużo lepiej rozwinięta cywilizacja.
if i was in ww2 and i saw this thing and the only tank i have is the sherman i would seriously shit on my pants then shoot the fucked out of that tank
The Germans were victims of their own "Maginot Line" idea. They spent so much time refining their tanks and then the Allies showed up in planes. Many planes.
Was not. German tanks where better in any way. Better armor protection, better guns, better range. A tiger could kill a T-34 from 2500m range, the T-34 could kill a tiger only from 400m and less. The problem with the germans was that thier tanks where hard to build, thier cost was above all russian tanks, therfore they had a limit. The russian T-34 was easy and cheap to build, so Germans where beaten by sheer numbers. Read some books please :)
@Dagreatdudeman Obviously you don't read much history you should check out what the Mitsubishi family considered a compact run-about prior to the end of WWII, and maybe look into what SAAB manufactures on the quiet too.
@Dagreatdudeman Actually no, Porsche worked on electric cars, invented the "hybrid" drive system, built a Gran Prix race car and the Volkswagen prototype all before the war started.
@Mikethekiller7 By using air support. In a direct encounter most tanks would not have stood a chance against this unless they managed to outflank it at very short range, which is difficult to get into however since the 12.8 KwK would have "impaled" any allied tank at that time at a range of 2km and probably even more.
@HunterHornet I have looked for quite some time for actual film of the tests and found a few grainy jumpy, but nothing really cool. Mostly men climbing around the Maus. There are lots of pictures of the testing that can be found, most are not real clear.
3 maus tanks were built, one broke down and was destroyed, one was un-finished and put together by russians and is in the kubinka tank museum. The third was rumored to have been in battle. One story says it was in berlin, the other was it attacked an american armored collumn, and the americans could not destroy it, so they bombed the bridge it was on, and it is underwater somewhere.Also the ratte tank turret was built and is in norway as an artillery emplacement.
Seems like your info on the maus is off, we know of 2 prototypes V1 with a dummy turret and V2 with a real turret, the version that is at Kubinka is a combination of the V1 hull and the V2 turret.
The Maus was a bizarre concept - massively heavy and expensive, slow and with limited range. Given the Germans' supply situation near the war's end it would have driven 60km, run out of fuel and then been abandoned. It was more like a mobile(ish) pill-box.
and 2:35 u can see the mud line , it got bogged down pretty good,and turret on that pict is concrete, and thanks to Speer this big crazy monster tanks never got build
What should be noted is that , unless I'm reversing them, that's the V1 hull with the V2 turret. I wonder what the V1 turret and the V2 hull would have looked like.

Kiedy każdy inny kraj by był dumny z takiej demokracji jaką my mieliśmy, my narzekamy, że przez to upadliśmy, a co gdybyśmy mieli tyranów, jak Iwan Groźny, to byśmy mogli być dumni z takiej historii?

@1942PANTHERV
Where do you get this stuff from.. There were two (at Kummersdorf) prototypes completed (four hulls were scrapped in 1944!) And a third hull remained at Essen, with the turret for one of the Kummersdorf tanks. So the other "complete" Maus never even had its turret. One was found blown up, the other out of fuel (according to the Germans under evacuation).

Well Encyclopedia atleast says both were blown up. It was published in 1978, when was info on the Maus available? I doubt it was common knowledge it was in Kubinka at the time.
No author with credibility has stated they went to battle. It is simply the Maus fans trying to give it a purpose in history. Give the ending of the Nazi regime the mythological pride it lacks.

@GeneralAdvance Incorrect. The V2 was a completed prototype with a production turret. The V1 was completed, but only as a test bed and outfitted with a mock turret for weight.
Toddinfantry 3 months ago
@1942PANTHERV OK, may I help here. Two Maus hulls completed, V1 and V2. One Maus turret completed, and one mock test turret that was constructed from wood, steel and concrete. It was used to simulate the actual weight of a production turret. This mock turret was fitted to hull V1. V2 received an actual production turret and under went testing at the Bobligen proving grounds, near Kummersdorf. The V1 with mock turret was captured by the Russians, the V2 with turret did not see battle. con't...
Toddinfantry 3 months ago
@1942PANTHERV con't... There was no ammo for the main gun at the proving grounds. The V2 was destroyed by Germans evacuating the area, the turret was not destroyed. The V2 turret was recovered and mounted on the V1 by the Russians. The V2 never acted in the defense of Berlin, about 20 miles north of Kummersdorf, and was in fact destroyed at Bobligen.
Toddinfantry 3 months ago
@Toddinfantry ..look i'm just going by what i've read in the books thats all....the 2 tanks fought on the proving ground..until they ran out of fuel and ammo..the crew destroyed the one..the other was abandoned..captured by the russians.....
1942PANTHERV 3 months ago
@1942PANTHERV I understand that. I don't know what you have read but it is wrong. It would be impossible for both to have fought. The V1 had a mock turret with no weapons and the V2 was undergoing engine / transmission trials not gunnery, there was no ammo. Neither had hull mounted machine guns so the Germans couldn't have fought with just the hull. If you dig hard you can find lots on this tank, try books from European sources..much better info.

Nice armoring, however, it was TOO SLOW-13KPH!! A bunch of T34 will rat-pack the beast and eventually give it good air-conditioning. As I understood from other sources, the Soviets captured one and used it as a command post!
I believe from other sources, the Germans made 2 of these beasts-a poor use of limited resources. The fuel economy was 11gallons to a mile---the loaded weight was 209 tons-therefore, the slow 13KPH was made even slower!

Was not. German tanks where better in any way. Better armor protection, better guns, better range. A tiger could kill a T-34 from 2500m range, the T-34 could kill a tiger only from 400m and less. The problem with the germans was that thier tanks where hard to build, thier cost was above all russian tanks, therfore they had a limit. The russian T-34 was easy and cheap to build, so Germans where beaten by sheer numbers. Read some books please :)

@Mikethekiller7 By using air support. In a direct encounter most tanks would not have stood a chance against this unless they managed to outflank it at very short range, which is difficult to get into however since the 12.8 KwK would have "impaled" any allied tank at that time at a range of 2km and probably even more.

3 maus tanks were built, one broke down and was destroyed, one was un-finished and put together by russians and is in the kubinka tank museum. The third was rumored to have been in battle. One story says it was in berlin, the other was it attacked an american armored collumn, and the americans could not destroy it, so they bombed the bridge it was on, and it is underwater somewhere.Also the ratte tank turret was built and is in norway as an artillery emplacement.

The Maus was a bizarre concept - massively heavy and expensive, slow and with limited range. Given the Germans' supply situation near the war's end it would have driven 60km, run out of fuel and then been abandoned. It was more like a mobile(ish) pill-box.
