Does anyone have any specifics of the tank referred to simply as the “monster”[?] It was the Krupp Projekt P. 1500. All I know was that it was a bad idea, and would have used a 800mm “Schwere Gustav” railway gun. Please reply.
First, it was not really a tank, but a super-heavy self-propelled gun.
Second, it’s not exactly sure whether anyone was seriously planning to build it; and the armor value and secondary armament appear especially doubtful.
Third, there’s a nice article HERE
Thank you A_Marx.
The Germans had some great designs, but some rather foolish ones. This one ends up in the “what was I thinking?” catagorey.
Yeah, just like the high-compressed air cannon that could knock airplanes out of the sky. Those cooky Nazis.
