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 ...
VK 30.02 (D) - Daimler-Benz design for a 30-tonne tank, initially ordered in 1942 but cancelled in favour of MAN design. [ 1 ] VK 30.02 (M) - MAN design for a 30-tonne tank, which evolved into the Panther tank .
VK 20.01 - designs for initially a 20-tonne tank to replace Panzer III and Panzer IV medium tanks. VK 30 series - 30-35 tonne class tank designs. [1] VK 30.01 (H)-Henschel design for 30-tonne breakthrough tank, two prototypes built. Two hulls were later reused as Sturer Emil.
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 It was rejected for production likely due to being outdated by the time it was meant to be produced.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.
Daimler-Benz (DB), which designed the successful Panzer III and StuG III, and Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg AG (MAN) were given the task of designing a new 30- to 35-tonne tank, designated VK 30.02, by April 1942. The "VK 30.02(DB)" design resembled the T-34 in its hull and turret and was also to be powered by a diesel engine. It was ...

Daimler-Benz (DB) and MAN were given the task of designing a new 30- to 35-ton tank, designated VK30.02, which resembled the T-34 hull and turret form. Like the T-34, the DB design had a rear drive sprocket. Unlike the T-34, the DB design had a three-man turret crew: commander, gunner, and loader.
