Like the P.1000, the P.1500 would come to nothing by war's end - canceled by then-Minister of Armaments Albert Speer as soon as 1943. It would certainly come in handy when attempting to dislodge stubborn Soviet forces entrenched within the vast Soviet Empire en route to Moscow.īoth projects were approved for development to fulfill a 1942 German Ministry of Armaments requirement. While its sister project - the Landkreuzer P.1000 'Ratte' - proved a conventional 'super-heavy' tank-in-the-making with its massive traversing turret, the P.1500 was to be more akin to a self-propelled, super-heavy artillery platform - perhaps more in common with the large railway guns the Germans held experience in building and using through both World Wars. One such creation was to become the Landkreuzer P.1500 'Monster' by the storied heavy guns concern of Krupp.

With Germany fully committed to total war in Europe and Africa and seemingly holding all of the advantage heading into 1942, many new - sometimes outrageous - programs were green-lighted by authorities (including Hitler).
