The VK 30.01 (D) and VK 30.02 (D), also known as VK.3001 (DB) were two tank designs made by Daimler Benz submitted for the VK 30 project for a 30 tonne tank to be used by the German army. The Versuchskonstruktion 30.01 (D) and 30.02 (D), in English "experimental design 30 tonnes Daimler", [ a ] was intended to counter the Soviet T-34 and ...

The VK 30.01 (H) is a German prototype heavy tank developed by Henschel in Germany during World War II. It was rejected for production likely due to being outdated by the time it was meant to be produced. The chassis from this project went on to form the chassis for the Sturer Emil self-propelled anti-tank gun project.
At the beginning of 1937, the Weapon Testing Office (Wa Prüf 6) of the German Army's Ordnance Office (Heereswaffenamt) contracted with Henschel & Son (chassis) and Krupp (turret) for a 30-tonne (29.5-long-ton; 33.1-short-ton) heavy breakthrough (Durchbruchswagen) tank with 50-millimetre (2 in) armor on the front and sides of the hull and the turret.
The HL230 P30 and P45 appear to fall into this category, being named according to their original project specification: the HL230 P30 was designed to be fitted in the Panther, whose prototype was the 30-ton class VK30.02; and the HL230 P45 went in the Tiger, whose final 45-ton class prototype was numbered VK45.01.

Cirrus Design VK-30 on ramp at the Baraboo–Wisconsin Dells Airport in Baraboo, Wisconsin, c. 1988. The VK-30 design was conceived in the early 1980s as a kit plane project by three Wisconsin college students: Alan Klapmeier and Jeff Viken from Ripon College, and Alan's brother, Dale Klapmeier, who was attending the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point.
The overall weight would have been 36 tonnes. Only one hull was built, and no turret was fitted. Further development of the Durchbruchwagen was dropped in 1938 in favour of the larger and better-armoured VK 30.01 (H) and VK 36.01 (H) designs. [e] Both the Durchbruchwagen I and II prototype hulls were used as test vehicles until 1941. [citation ...
