The V2 German Vergeltungswaffe 2, Retribution Weapon 2, technical name Aggregat 4 A4, was the worlds first longrange guided ballistic missile. Five were ordered, but only two hulls and one turret were completed before the testing grounds were captured by the advancing Soviet forces. These two prototypes one with, and the other without a turret underwent trials in late 1. The complete vehicle was 1. Weighing 1. 88 metric tons, the Mauss main armament was the Krupp designed 1. Kw. K 4. 4 L5. 5 gun, based on the 1. Pak 4. 4 anti tank field artillery piece also used in the casemate type Jagdtiger tank destroyer, with a coaxial 7. Kw. K 4. 4 L3. 6. The 1. 28 mm gun was powerful enough to destroy all Allied armoured fighting vehicles then in service, some at ranges exceeding 3,5. The principal problem in the design of the Maus was developing an engine and drivetrain which was powerful enough to propel the tank, yet small enough to fit inside it as it was meant to use the same sort of hybrid drive, using an internal combustion engine to operate an electric generator to power its tracks with electric motor units, much as its Ferdinand Porsche designed predecessors, the VK 3. P, VK 4. 50. 1 P, and Elefant had. The drive train was electrical, designed to provide a maximum speed of 2. However, during actual field testing, the maximum speed achieved on hard surfaces was 1. The vehicles weight made it unable to utilize most bridges, instead it was intended to ford to a depth of 2 metres 6 ft 7 in or submerge up to a depth of 8 metres 2. The Maus was intended to punch holes through enemy defences in the manner of an immense breakthrough tank, whilst taking almost no damage to any components. DevelopmenteditThe basic design known as the VK1. Porsche Type 2. 055 was suggested by Ferdinand Porsche to Adolf Hitler in June 1. Work on the design began in earnest the first prototype, to be ready in 1. Mammut Mammoth. This was reportedly changed to Muschen Little Mouse in December 1. Maus Mouse in February 1. The contact shoe and connector link track design of the Maus suspension system. The Maus was designed from the start to use the electric transmission design which Ferdinand Porsche had used in the VK 4. P, his unsuccessful attempt to win the production contract for the Tiger. The initial powerplant was the Daimler Benz MB 5. Germanys largest displacement at 4. V1. 2 aircraft engine, the Daimler Benz DB 6. Daimler Benz MB 5. This drove an electrical generator, and their combined length occupied the centralrear two thirds of the Maus hull, cutting off the forward drivers compartment in the hull from direct access to the turret from within the tank. Each 1. 1 metre wide track, which used the same basic contact shoe and connector link design format as the Henschel built Tiger II, was driven by its own electric motor mounted within the upper rear area of each hull side.

Due to the return run of the uniquely wide tracks used being completely enclosed within the fixed outer side armor panels that defined its overall hull width, with the inner vertical lengthwise walls of the hull used to mount the suspension components, a narrow lengthwise tub remained between the hulls inner armored walls, under and to the rear of the turret to house the engine and generator of the tanks powertrain. The armour was substantial the hull front was 2. The turret armour was even thicker, the turret front was up to 2. The gun mantlet was 2. The initial plan for the Maus was for the prototype to have been completed by mid 1. The work on the Maus would be divided between Krupp, responsible for the chassis, armament and turret and Alkett, who would be responsible for final assembly. The rear of the Maus in the Kubinka tank museum. The Maus tank was originally designed to weigh approximately 1. Additional armament options were studied including various versions of 1. In January 1. 94. Hitler himself insisted that the armament be a 1. The 1. 28 mm Pa. K 4. Krupp adapted for arming the Maus as the Kampfwagenkanone Kw. K 4. 4 retained, in parallel to the Porsche project, its original anti tank Panzerabwehrkanone family designation of Pa. K 4. 4 when mounted in the casemate style Jagdtiger tank destroyer. By May 1. 94. 3, a wooden mockup of the final Maus configuration was ready and presented to Hitler, who approved it for mass production, ordering a first series of 1. At this point, the estimated weight of the Maus was 1. However, there is a story that concerns the main armament of the Maus being changed by Hitler who said that the 1. In his book Panzer Leader, Heinz Guderian wrote On 1 May a wooden model of the Maus, a tank project of Porsche and Krupp, was shown to Hitler. It was intended to mount a 1. The total weight of the tank was supposed to reach 1. It should be considered that after the design changes on Hitlers instructions the tank will weigh 2. The model didnt have a single machine gun for close combat, and for this reason I had to reject it. It had the same design flaw that made the Elefant unsuitable for close combat. In the end, the tank will inevitably have to wage a close combat since it operates in cooperation with the infantry. An intense debate started, and except for me, all of the present found the Maus magnificent. It was promising to be exactly that, a giant. This lack of close combat armament was later addressed with the addition of a nahverteidigungswaffe short range defensive ordnance mounted in the turret roof, a 7. MG 3. 4 machine gun with 1,0. Future planned modifications included provisions for a MG 1. The first, turretless prototype V1 was assembled by Alkett in December 1. Tests started the same month, with a mockup turret fitted of the same weight as the real turret. In June 1. The Maus was too heavy to cross bridges. As a result, an alternative system was developed, where the Maus would instead ford the rivers it needed to cross. Due to its size it could ford relatively deep streams, but for deeper ones it was to submerge and drive across the river bottom. The solution required tanks to be paired up. One Maus would supply electrical power to the crossing vehicle via a cable until it reached the other side. The crew would receive air through a large snorkel, which was long enough for the tank to go 7. In Marchcitation needed 1. V2, was delivered. It differed in many details from the V1 prototype. In mid 1. 94. 4, the V2 prototype was fitted with a powerplant and the first produced Maus turret. This turret was fitted with a 1. Kw. K 4. 4 L5. 5 gun, a coaxial 7. Kw. K 4. 4 L3. 6.
