The H-45 Battleship Concept
Another behemoth designed by Hitler
After the loss of the Bismarck German battleship which was the pride o the German army, Hitler became very furious and wanted to start the design of Fuhrer class battleships that would make the Yamato Japanese battleship a joke. Sadly the picture you see above is the only thing I could find to show what the H-45 could have looked like (sorry for the small resolution).
Hitler was in love with huge weapons that are just ridiculous and ineffective because of the number of resources it takes to actually use them. A good example would be the Maus tank which had the thickest armor at the time, however, because it was so big and heavy the engine would use as much fuel as 10 king tigers to actually move 1km in distance.
Not only that but because of the heavyweight, it could only do a top speed of 15kmh so it would be better off as a turret in battle. The tank was built but never used because even the Germans realized (after production) it’s ineffectiveness in combat.
