There are few vehicles as popular as the Maus super heavy tank. Envisioned to be impenetrable while taking out the most heavily armored allied tanks, it's surprising that the Maus was ever functional. There are some people that believe the Maus could have helped turn the tide of World War II, but I disagree. Super heavies take a lot of resources to design and field while having limited utility, and the Maus was certainly no exception. We'll be taking a look at its history to see why it was made it in the first place, how the design changed, and why it ultimately failed.
