I want to see the Maus crush the first bridge it crosses.

Wouldn't have to. . . I believe it was designed to be airtight so it could ford rivers on its own (well, in theory. . .)

Yes, at 184 tons it would pair up with another maus and take it in turns to cross. Grab your partners! martin

Soviets denied they even had it in a museum for years.

So I guess Girls Und Panzers is really popular in Russia? ;-) Considering that there's a 10hr version of the song "Katyusha", you'd better believe it! YouTube link

Anyone ever hear what happened to the Maus that was supposedly found in a forest in Germany about 5-10 years ago? There was some talk of the local Socialist/Green political alliance having kittens about it.

How do you lose a Maus? Honey? Did you see that big tank I had parked out back?
Khusrau	11 Apr 2014 7:13 p.m. PST
Now that would be very cool….
Legion 4	12 Apr 2014 7:29 a.m. PST

john lacour	12 Apr 2014 9:31 a.m. PST
no maus were found in some woods. don't know where you got that. there were 2. both are accounted for.

Great idea in many respects but I wish they would have decided to build it from scratch rather than "modifying" an existing museum piece. That way they could also keep the weight down .
