Tanitha: No-one seems to have noticed this new section yet, there never was
a section on the forums for old tanks that aren't in the game.
Now there is! So I'll try to start it off.
On 23 June 1942 the German Ministry of Armaments proposed a 1,000 tonne tank – the Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte. Adolf Hitler himself expressed interest in the project and go-ahead was granted. In December the same year, Krupp designed an even larger 1,500 tonne tank – the P 1500 Monster.
In 1943, Albert Speer, the Minister for Armaments, cancelled both projects.
The Landkreuzer P. 1500 Monster was to be 42 m (138 ft) long, weighing 1500 tonnes, with a 250 mm hull front armor, 4 MAN U-boat (submarine) diesel engines, and an operating crew of over 100 men.
