Post; Ok I am a little intrigued by what I found on Youtube


can anyone tell me what is going on in this video at around the 10 second mark?

Is it photo-shopped or fake, most of the images shown are genuine although there appears to have been a little "touching up" in places and at one image is from a WW2 recreation.

Odd image

Its a fake of some sort alright but I am just not sure what it is meant to be as it is far too big for the Ratte.

It looks like it's a screenshot from a computer game and I think it's meant to be the Landkreuzer P 1500 Monster, even bigger than the Ratte. Those 2 big guns sticking out look about the right size to be 800mm guns and the smaller one is maybe a 150mm howitzer.

Many of the countries that were over run by Hitlers Forces quite often provided troops for the German Army. I think the ones from this area were known as the Viking Legion.

More than likely.
As I understand it the image at 1:56 is from a re-enactment.


I am not sure what the point to a 1500 ton tank would have been even as a gun platform as it would have still suffered from lack of air support and ground to a halt at the first river crossing I can't imagine there were many bridges capable of carrying that weight in 1943.

The Tank was in the design stage but never got any further as the war had ended, also the tank had a mass of AAA all over it
