Guy,

Are you sure the photo is real, {sm4}

Because in the book that i have they say that they was just some elements (parts) made by Germany about this tank.

They never said that they did 1 complete prototype like the photo you have.

[Guy]

you're right of course the Ratte project was cancelled in 1943 before one was built

What was its armament?

What was its armament?

Am not certain, however given the drawings shown the turret appears to be of a configuration comparable to one of the four turrets comprising the main armament of the battleship KMS Bismarck. Each of those 8 guns was 380mm (15 in), but appear to be of a slightly longer caliber, i.e. length, than those shown for the P.1000 ‘Ratte’. For more information than you possibly may need on Bismarck's armament you can check http://www.kbismarck.com/armament.html. See attached images. Am not certain of the third gun, but could well be an 88mm gun. My reading ability in French is limited, but although the dimensions of the armor is detailed, I can't seem to find any data on the armament in the article.
