"In 1944, Krupp built a prototype of this super heavy mineclearing vehicle.The 130t vehicle was articulated in the centre, and was suspended on 2.7m diameter steel wheels. These were set on different track widths at front and rear, so as to sweep a wider path. Each section of the Raumer S was powered by a Maybach HL90 motor. It was captured at end of the war by the U.S Army." Main page link Amicalement Armand

Interesting. You'd only want a thing like this if you were going to go forward over your minefields or the enemy's. By this time, the Germans were usually in retreat. It also implies one or both sides had time to lay mines in the first place, so more or less fixed lines. Did the Germans really believe they'd be advancing, or was somebody (not to name any names) just a few bricks shy of a load? Grelber

The Germans did try to resolve some of the problems they had attacking fortifications from 39-43, but the projects didn't get to the prototype stage until the need was passed. Look at the Sturmtigers.
