Wanted Maus transport vehicle

[Salazar]

Hi.

I read in Batailles and Blindes ( a french Magazine) that a special transport vehicle, with no less than 18 axis was developed for the Maus. Anyone knows of photos or info ?

Hi Salazar,
Graz-Simmering-Pauker designed a special wehicle for transporting MAUS. Wehicle was named "Verladewagon", there are one photo, which shows MAUS on the Verladewagon:

What type/kind of truck was able to tow this "monster" maus on a transport trailer?

Seems that due to it´s heavy-weight it would be better off transporting it by train to it´s designation.

BTW good picture Desert Foxas. I never seen it before. Only read about it.

Thanks for posting it 8)
