Hello all! The Landkreuzer P. 1000 or Land Cruiser P.1000 Was a super heavy tank, that was designed in 1942. The tank was to be a thousand tons in weight, and would be armed with one the left over main gun turrets from the refitting of a battleship. The armor was to be up to 25 centimeters (9.8 in) thick, and several Anti Aircraft guns to be installed on its engine deck. The project was cancelled in 1943, before any prototype was ever built. The tank would be powered by two Man 24 cylinder marine engines. Like that used in "U boats"
Not all historians are convinced that the P.1000 even got as far as an
outline design. Although it is generally accepted that Hitler asked for
a feasibility study into a 1000-ton tank in 1942, there is much doubt
around the specifics of the plan to use the 280-millimetre (11 in) guns
or spare turrets from the battleship Gneisenau.
The turrets alone weighed approximately 750 tons and required a
five-storey structure to house the associated handling rooms and
rotating machinery. Such weapons would also require separate magazines
and shell rooms as well as handling machinery for the ammunition, all of
which required space and power well beyond the scope of what would be
possible in a 1000-ton tracked vehicle. Accordingly, some historians
believe the P.1000 Ratte diagram to be either a hoax, or alternatively a speculative engineer's sketch made for personal amusement
