About the Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus (English: 'mouse')

Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus was a German World War II super-heavy tank completed in late 1944. It is the heaviest fully enclosed armored fighting vehicle ever built. Five were ordered, but only two hulls and one turret were completed, the turret is attached before the testing grounds were captured by advancing Soviet military forces.

The Maus was intended to punch holes through enemy fortifications in the manner of an immense "breakthrough tank" while taking virtually no damage to any components.

The development of the Maus originates from a contract given to Porsche for the design of a 100-ton tank in March 1942. Work on the design began in earnest; the first prototype, to be ready in 1943 was initially to receive the name Mammut ('mammoth'). This was reportedly changed to Mäuschen ('little mouse') in December 1942 and finally to Maus ('mouse') in February 1943, which became the most common name for this tank.
