The 4th picture from the bottom is of WWII vintage experimental super heavy tank; which was first referred to as a T95, but later renamed a T28. The T28 weighed in at almost 100 tons and was armed with 105 mm cannon. I actually saw one of these at the armor museum in Fort Knox, KY while I was in basic training a good while back. The frontal armor on on it is unbelievably thick ( I don't even think a German 88 mm gun could penetrate it!), and it was designed to attack heavy fortifications like the Siegfried Line but it arrived too late to be of any use. Although Wikipedia refers to it as a super heavy tank or self propelled gun, most armor buffs would refer to this as a tank destroyer.

cool, thanks. i intensely dislike war (can't watch the movies anymore) but still find the hardware fascinating.
