Amazing Armor

I think thats a Maus..

Panzer VIII Maus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unfortunately it is not a Mouse tank.It was Panzerkampfwagen E100
also called Tiger IIIS or Entwurf Fa.Adler.

More infos you can find there: PANZERKAMPFWAGEN VIII MAUS - the Colossal Tank

The drawings and pics are form the site.

Is it just me Wurger my friend, but does that picture look like photoshop, or is it just my playing games with me.....
It's something odd with the E-100 and the Schwimmwagen, I can't really put my finger on it, but it is something....

 

[Wurger]

Yep, I think you are right.Sombody has used a Photoshop or another applications to make the pic.In my opinion the E100 tank it is a model, taking that the tank was not assembled finally in 1945 into consideration.

Also, that infrared system on top of the turret, they never got that either, right buddy?

 

[Wurger]

It seems yes.But there were some infrared systems used by Germans in that time.
Anyway, it is an author's imagination only, I think.
