Maus. This tank was used by the Soviet Army to test munitions. About half a dozen impact holes are visible. The front armour was 200 mm- ( 7.87402 inches) thick and the impacts easily burned through it. It certainly proved to be useless.
"The Panzerkampfwagen Pz.Kpf.W. VIII (Sd.Kfz. 205) "Maus" (ironically named the "Mouse") was a "superheavy" tank development undertaken by the Third Reich during World War 2. This monster creation was fitted with a large and powerful main gun armament supplemented by equally powerful secondary armament and armored to the core. She became the heaviest tank prototype to be completed in all of the war but was never to see combat."
