It was a prototype German super heavy tank that was never actually produced.
The thing was a monster that weighed around 188 tons. Its turret mounted a
128mm gun with a 75mm gun as a coaxial weapon (that's the size of the main
gun on most Allied tanks). The gun could easily penetrate Allied tanks from
ranges of 3500m or more. Luckily for Allied tankers it was too expensive and
complicated to produce and could barely move due to its weight, so it never
saw action.
