I always like to imagine the conversations between intelligence officers: “London! Do you copy? We received intelligence that some small tank will soon be sent to the front lines. “

Imagine the screams of an Allied tank commander when he saw Germany’s heaviest tank:
F*CK! IT’S A MOUSE! RUN! F*CK! F*CK! F*CK!

From wiki: The top speed of 13 km/h off-road, along with a total weight of almost 190 tons, which made crossing bridges practically impossible, posed significant disadvantages. The vehicle was more of a rolling bunker than a tank suitable for use in mobile warfare. In the event of a retreat, there would have been no possibility of quick evacuation; the Maus would have had to be abandoned, left behind, or destroyed. In the case of an attack, it would not have been able to keep up with fast advances. While the Maus’ firepower and armor would have posed a massive problem for the enemy, it could have been bypassed or outmaneuvered, which led to the consideration of using accompanying tanks.

What was even the point anyway. It is a slightly more armored tank with a slightly bigger gun, but all the disadvantages that tiger already had are turned not to even 11 but to fing 17.

Coincidentally the same face a Maus would make looking up at an Allied aircraft before it got absolutely deleted.

I always thought the Mauser was in reference to a cat that is tasked with killing mice? In English we spell it Mouser. Or am I mistranslating it? If I’m right, then Mauser is in keeping with their whole kitty naming fetish theme.

Panther is not a distinct species, but rather the scientific grouping for all big cats. Tigers are panthers, lions are panthers, jaguars are panthers, leopards are panthers, etc.
