The Nazi Mouse - The Biggest Tank Ever Made 

Is tonk

Ah yes germans and humor A perfect fit

Just like Greenland and Iceland, they were probably called that way to be misleading

Very ironic.

Goliath wasn't a tank, it was a tracked mine...

Don't forget about Ratte p1000

U should get at least 1000 likes

Ratte and maus🤣

It's a strategic advantage

It was a tactical maneuver. The idea was to get the Americans to think that mouse=small light tank, and then not be prepared for a massive bunker on tracks. The Americans would have just called for air support anyways so :/

Ah yes, *Gaijin's RUSSIAN BIAS*

Ok

@@solewindxii nah, there is no russian bias, trust me. Yes, miracles happen, but thats in most of vehicles.

@@rali7583 theres no bias, just battle rating unbalance

ASU-57: Are you sure about that?

Well that is what they do...

More like calling the bomb on Hiroshima "little boy"

Well I mean, wouldn't a country wanna surrender after getting nuked

there'll be peace afterward

Not very ironic considering that is exactly what they do. Literally every country that has one keeps the peace by ensuring an aggressive war against them ends in MAD. For as destructive as the weapon is, it quite ironically is responsible for the absence of WW3 and quite possibly the continued peace that all of us have been enjoying for almost 80 years.

They had more panzer tanks in 1942 than they did in 41, and again in 43 than in 42. The biggest problem was they didn't have the fuel to run them. They ran out of oil.

@@luthoro3700 yes.

And when they were fighting the Soviets, oil in the ranks would freeze.

@@Korearxhxujddidbvdss That was why they invaded the soviet union in the first place. They needed the oil of the Caucasus mountains. But Hitler's generals disagreed with him on where to focus their efforts, some of them wanted to push toward Moscow believing they could defeat Russia the same way they did France, so they ended up dividing their forces on the eastern front and stretching themselves too thin.

Aircraft: I have lost faith in their tank designs

Sad Tirpitz noises

Stroynoy flugzug: Hold mein sauerkraut

Are they even have a brave to fight me, little girl?? Schreiber Panzer Maus

But being small doesn't mean youre a longer exist target xaxaxa 😂

@@magnum6763 yeah they dint even use the tripitz just parked in Norway and used it as a huge AA battery to farm airplane kills and the Bri'sh used it as bombing practice

Taco bell sound

Even if u became deaf u would still be alive.

@@Hi-vo9ku there's a thing called 'sign language'.

It'll probably be like standing under the world's largest bell while it's ringing

@@suryamukherji4943 Yea, because not being able to hear anything while in an active warzone is no big deal, right?

The tracks are also very thick, and they’re protected by the frontal and flanking hull armor, which is low enough that tanks can’t snipe it.

@@chatterycasque9594 I wasn't talking about the tracks so much as the road wheels inside the tracks You get those even a little misaligned, it will throw the tracks

Sir but the track on the maus in case you have never seen is 4 inches thick at its thinnest you would need a lot more than high explosive ego destroy it especially since the only way to fire upon it is from the front because the sides are protected by armour which puts you directly in front of the 280 mm SLOPED armor which gives an effective thickness of about 9 inches…. Also if you happened to even see a maus I would just drive away let it break down much better than fighting it correction I meant to say 14-16

Imagine the field maintenance required.

@@normalbird1139 depends on which part. If it's the tracks which are broken, gg then. You can't repair it

It was just a prototype, the final product would be great.

@@eliasl332 great for Allied CAS

The Germans were amazing at utilizing underpowered trasmissions in their tanks so the maus was gonna have even more problems than the panther given it's crazy extra weight.

Which is why you mount a Flakvierling 38 on the roof. To take care of those pesky aircraft while the tank below takes care of the pesky everything else.

The Germans had a nice amount of airpower, and at the height of Germany, during 1940 to early 1941, this tank would have done wonders

And what does Bengal mean

@@DeliveryTank A region in the Indian subcontinent which is today divided between Bangladesh and India (particularly the state of West Bengal).

Yeah I'd agree with you if I was a caveman . . .

Aliens 😳

Literally a normal tank, but bigger so pretty cool but not impressive

German military technology was superior in pretty much every way. They created the first jet engine, the first automatic rifles, the list goes on. Some of their wunderwaffe were a waste of money and resources but some of them really could've turned the tide had they been able to get them into production in decent numbers. In the end they lost because they ran out of resources, mainly oil.

@@luthoro3700 I’m not disagreeing brother, I’m just saying this particular one isn’t really “impressive”

sounds like cap to me.

@@iwantsomecereal..orsomethi3767doesnt sound like cap to me

What?

I believe u meant beginning instead of begging

There were 2 Mauses one was bombed the other one wasn’t finished

Yea, one didn’t have a real turret, but had a real hull but the second hull was utterly destroyed and he turret was fine

this channel is lying sometimes

What about the Side or Rear armor of the Maus?

But would it really matter tho?

@@mystyle_jm8997 side was 200mm Max apbc pen in 76mm is 102mm Max apcr pen in 85mm is 195mm

They were so intimidated their cannons shrunk.

@@slavplays9407 Side is 185mm rear 150

Early models used the L/24 howitzer, it’s not the same gun

1 maus means less tanks means less fuel to make 1 move, and it pretty much could be shipped by specialized wagons very well and it also can cross all train bridges because most steam locomotives weighted around 100-300 tonnes and their freight was even heavier

Have enough resources to make more than 2

The Nazis undoubtedly understood these logistical aspects, op. The Nazis also had plenty of resources to construct the Maus, commenter. The issue was total war in multiple theaters with two major opponents capable of outperforming the Nazis and several major powers in supportive roles (mostly) withstanding the onslaught. The Americans and Soviets were simply able to overcome the Nazis and the Axis because of their abilities to produce both more war weapons and soldiers-especially when augmented by allies controlling vast (and admittedly dying) colonies or empires-and lots of men and other resources) in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. Europe was definitely FLEXIN' HARD after the invasion of France, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg. France fell-and the Blitz began 3 months later. Everyone was on notice. I'm glad Germany is sensible, center-left, constitutionally focused on human rights and human dignity, and prosperous in our time. Video is great btw!

Maus was really a mouse in the strategic sense why would you ever go near such a beast didn't they just say that it's top speed in 20 kph I could run away from it barefoot

Fr but I got to say it I like the e100 better 😞

@@warturtlethetank1074 same man , im grinding the E-100 line though

And deleted in WT

That's why I only grind until tier 8

Ngl e75 is proly better tier for tier but e100 fun af What the dog doin 🐕

This logic is why Germany lost

Lets call an atomec bomb a "peacemaker"

And its getting nerfed in the next update

This is why The Infographics Show is faulty, I'm not sure where their sources come from but they sure ain't correct.

The most deadly thing to a German tank is Mechanical failure

Fun Fact: The Kubinka building that holds the Maus was BUILT AROUND THE MAUS

@@magnum6763 they currently have revamped the place and moved maus if im right

@@startingbark0356 its to big to move and they aint riskin it. 188 tons would be hard to flip over.

@@magnum6763 they still moved it

@@magnum6763 boats weight more then double the weight and they can flip them over and put them on land

I don’t think you realize the amount of preparation you would need for this it’s not a medium tank your burying a significant amount of ground and it would take preparation just making deep long holes is inconvenient for both sides

The e100 only ever had the hull made

It was originally designed to have a 150mm gun but was then decided to use the Maus turret then the war ended

We can all agree that mounting a 150 mm howitzer on a tank is not practical, unless you play WoTb in which case you need that :))

@@TandemSix laughs in Sturmpanzers with 150mm howitzers

@@magnum6763 I would say sturmtiger was more of a threat

The turret was constructed but they scrapped it

@@TheSlyRat32 The turret already existed, but it had 3 guns because it belonged to a warship

most tanks don't go alone so it's not easy to flank a group of 5-10 tanks with suport units

the low speed and the inability to cross bridges isn’t that bad if you are fighting a defensive war.

@@eliasl332 plus this tank mean to be deployed in eastern front where kursk, poland in fact is a flat land, unlike their western counterpart where Rhine river force axis to destroy every bridge to halt allied invasion

They created it on paper but I’m almost sure that they never made a prototype.

@@eliasl332 Yea, i know, but they started making a prototype, but it never got in action.

The E-100 was only faster on paper, the chronic lack of horsepower due to its use of the Maybach HL230 engine (the same engine that powered the Tiger 1, 2 and Panther) would mean it would be almost impossible to get it up to its theoretical top speed. The gun of the E-100 was identical to that of the Maus, the 128mm kwk 44, the 150mm gun was dropped from both vehicles very early on as there was no real benefit over the 128mm other than a more powerful HE shell but it would have limited the amount of ammo the vehicles could carry and would have made them even heavier. And the armour of E-100 was inferior to the Maus on just about every plate, especially the sides in an effort to keep the weight down

@@eliasl332 They were in the process of making the hull, but once the location was captured by allied forces the british pretty much just scrapped the hull

@@bluesky_cupy5158 it was used for target practice

Maus a 500kg bomb bonjour. Maus blows up

Sorry to disappoint but they used T34’s with 76mm cannons when in reality it was 85mm.

And the Maus never fired a single shell against actual allied forces in a true attack, plus it wouldn't have changed the course of the war, considering how neither the tigers and panthers did

The Char 2c weighted only 69 tons. Mostly because it's armour was no thicker than 45mm which was impenetrable for WW1 standards. It was also the only super heavy tank in the world to have reached operational statues.

@@warpey5632 The Char 2C was in service as well and I clearly wrote that the heaviest tank indeed is the Maus but in size the Char 2C is a tad bigger

I agree it’s good knowledge but keep in mind that in almost every video they do some mistakes.

@@eliasl332 yea I know to know one can know everything down the the exact second if you weren’t there the my tell frm story’s online heard over years and experience

It doesnt need to be dissembled to be on a train, the soviets even managed to ship it on a train as a complete vehicle

Because 15 panthers cost way more resources then 1 maus

Even germans made special vagon for maus in which it was transported to proven grounds in Kümesdorf

@@startingbark0356 but even 1 panther Is more effective than a muas

Wheres the weakspot

@@sirvix9024 The neck, if youre on a lucky angle, the engine room ( disabling it's movement ), I mean if youre counting infantry, then the hatches,if youre counting bombs, than, just nice big juicy bombs, uh the barrels, technically a rifle could shoot down it's barrel into a loaded ammuntion peice and that shell would explode

@@acbeck0680 the neck ? Are u referring to the turret ring ? Cuz im pretty sure thats within the tank lol, most of these weak spots are weaknesses for really any tank in ww2

Wasnt supposed to replace it

A Maus weights as much as: 8 Panzer III 7 and a half Panzer IV 3 and a half Tiger I 2 and a half Tiger II

That battle never happened you know that right

The track was thick, no way its an easy pen

Yea that hurt to, but that’s actually some pretty good english, especially since English is one of the hardest languages to learn

Yes really the ratte was never made so many people quick to say the ratte and never stop to read the Ever made part

Good.

Yes you are completely taken by the “light side” you drone

I think they'd have to dive in very close in order to have the accuracy needed. Bombers in WWII used "dumb bombs" and they would often have trouble hitting large buildings. Hitting something smaller (ikr, smaller) like the Maus would be even harder unless they flew very close to the ground.

Mass B-17 raids to the factories before its ever built would like to have a word

the maus was made, just never saw combat.

@@olivertomich6625 well yes

No it’s purpose name decision
