Just two prototypes of this monster were delivered, for its undeniable advantages—tremendous firepower and virtually impenetrable armor—were outweighed by the disadvantages of its slowness, excessive use of materials in construction, and fuel consumption so high that it was, by that time, far beyond the Germans’ ability to supply. With this volume, Michael Fröhlich continues the legendary Spielberger series and delves into one of the most curious military vehicles produced by Germany—the Maus super-heavy tank. For the first time, this book tells the complete story of this vehicle, including its inner workings, accompanied by many previously unpublished illustrations. But that is not all: the book includes another novelty, the complete operating instructions for the tank’s crew! Review: Amazing - Nice and clean new hardcover, covers the history of the tank and its variants in detail, filled with pictures and drawings, isn't too boring to read. I glad I go this, for I wanted to read on the Maus and build one in real life. Review: This book follows the last of the WWII super heavy tanks designed and built by Germany - This book follows the last of the WWII super heavy tanks designed and built by Germany . There have been a lot of speculation about this monster tank, and this excellent book puts to rest most if not all of them. Coupled with both historic photos are those of a very recent vintage, further enhancing the story of the Maus tank. This book is a must for students of WWII as well as the layman. I heartily recommend this book.It is just as good as any Hunnicutt volume. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,414,654 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,413 in History of Military Vehicles #3,053 in Conventional Weapons & Warfare History (Books) #6,230 in German History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 56 Reviews | ## Images ![Kampfpanzer Maus: The Porsche Type 205 Super-Heavy Tank - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815vB3uotML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing *by U***1 on April 29, 2024* Nice and clean new hardcover, covers the history of the tank and its variants in detail, filled with pictures and drawings, isn't too boring to read.

The book, says the author, is a lifetime collection of data started in the dark ages of armor modeling when there was nothing out there on these monsters & most folks didn't even know they existed. We get the story, from Adolf's nocturnal emission, to the scuttling of the 2 finished chassis in 1945, to post war testing & evaluation, & everything in between. Also possibly every period picture (except for a few privately owned per the author) of these beasts, along with plans & drawings, many of which are from the factory. Details of the interior, subassemblies & components will help modelers immensely. Printed well on heavy paper. I took away a star for the plans that are reproduced so small the printed words are illegible even with magnification, & the sometimes rough translation to English. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/38806828-kampfpanzer-maus-the-porsche-type-205-super-heavy-tank](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/38806828-kampfpanzer-maus-the-porsche-type-205-super-heavy-tank) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
