    Großkampfwagen "K-Wagen" Superheavy Tank

    Superheavy tank developed by the German Empire between 1917 and 1918. The original design would have had a weight of 165 tonnes, but this was later reduced to 120 tonnes. The vehicle was to have a crew of 27. The two prototypes were not complete before the Armistice.
