Kampfpanzer Maus: The Porsche Type 205 Super-Heavy Tank

Fröhlich. Perhaps the most fascinating military vehicle ever produced, the Maus super-heavy tank was conceived by Nazi engineers as a super weapon that would change the tide of the war. This gripping volume, essentially a biography of the behemoth tank, compellingly weighs its pros and cons — its tremendous firepower and impenetrable armor on the one hand and nearly impossible maneuverability and unsustainable fuel consumption on the other. This guide also includes the original German operating manual that was to be handed out to crew members! 240 pages, 328 color and B&W photos, 8½"x 11", hardcover.
