Who canceled the project for the Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte, which would have surpassed the Panzer VIII Maus as being the heaviest fully enclosed armoured fighting vehicle ever built?
Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte The "Landkreuzer" P. 1000 "Ratte" (English: "Land Cruiser P. 1000 "Rat"") was a design for a super-heavy tank for use by Nazi Germany during World War II, proposed by Krupp director Edward Grotte in June 1942, who had already named it ""Landkreuzer"". Submitted designs and drawings of the tank went under the names "OKH Auftrag Nr. 30404" and "E-30404/1", which were presented in December 1942. The tank was planned to be 1000 metric tonnes, being far heavier than the Panzer VIII "Maus", the heaviest tank ever built (weighing 188 tonnes). The project gained the approval of Adolf Hitler, who had expressed interest in the development of the tank, but was canceled by Minister of Armaments Albert Speer in early 1943.
4th Panzergrenadier Division (Bundeswehr) The 4th Panzergrenadier Division ("4. Panzergrenadierdivision") was a West German mechanized infantry formation. It was part of the II Corps of the Bundeswehr, which also incorporated in 1979 the 1st Mountain Division and 1st Airborne Division, and the 10th Panzer Division. II Corps was part of NATO's Central Army Group (CENTAG), along with the Bundeswehr's III Corps and the American V and VII Corps. In the wake of military restructuring brought about by the end of the Cold War, the 4th Panzergrenadier Division was disbanded in 1994 with some of its forces being used to form the Airmobile Forces Command /4th Division.
