In addition to the militaries of Germany and England, the Soviet Union was also fascinated by these monsters. Behind it was the concept of transferring the heavy armament of naval warfare to land warfare. These superheavy vehicles were to move across the land the way battleships moved on the sea, and were to be capable of simultaneously defeating enemy forces from any direction. In this follow-up to his highly regarded work on thePanzerkampfwagen Maus, Michael Frhlich turns his attention to the other superheavy Wehrmachtdesigns, such as the Grille 17, the Lwe VK 7001, the Rumer S, the Mrser Br, the E-100 (successor to theMaus), and the 1,100-ton Urling armored howitzer. Frhlichcomprehensively describes their development, technology, and testing, and the eventual fate of those vehicles that were built or only projected. Many rare and never-before-published photographs and drawings of the vehicles complement this unique work.[AuthorName]By Michael Frhlich[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Michael Frhlich became very interested in history at an early age. After tank driver training in the East German army, he focused his interest on the history of tanks and armored vehicles. The allure of the unknown awakened in him the desire to describe in detail rarely known tank projects to future readers. In his works he places particular emphasis on providing the most details possible, which are based principally on historical archive material.[/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]210 color and b/w photos and drawings[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle]Wehrmacht Concepts and Designs[/SubTitle][ColorPattern]210 color and b/w photos and drawings[/ColorPattern]
