German super-heavy tank Panzer VIII Maus (188 tons) at the Kubinka Tank Museum. During the Second World War, all of the major combatants introduced prototypes for special roles. Adolf Hitler was a proponent of "war winning" weapons and supported projects like the 188 tonne Maus, and even larger 1,000 tonne Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte.
During the war, the mass of a panzer increased from the 5.4 tonnes (6.0 tons) of a pre-war Panzer I light tank, to 68.5 tonnes (75.5 tons) of the Tiger II. In the meantime, the Soviets continued to produce the T-34 by the tens of thousands, and U.S. industry nearly matched them in the number of M4 Sherman tanks built and deployed in Western Europe.
In 1941, Krupp built prototype vehicles armed with the 105 mm leichte Feldhaubitze 18/1 L/28 (light field howitzer 18/1 L/28, abbreviated leFH 18/1 L/28) cannon based on a modified Panzer IV chassis. The prototypes were fitted with a smaller six-cylinder Maybach HL66P engine, which had a power capacity of 188 hp (140 kW).
A prototype was built by modifying a Panzer 61 and was announced in 1967. In 1972 the Federal Council approved production of a version based on the Panzer 68.The Panzer 68 hull was unchanged, with the gun turret replaced by the bridge-laying mechanism.
