About this vehicle

An improved version of the Object 257 project was developed following the news on June 4, 1945 that a Maus tank near the town of Zossen, as well as an unarmed prototype at the Kummersdorf training ground, had been captured. In comparison to the Object 257, this modification was supposed to have better armor and firepower. Further development was discontinued in favor of the more promising IS-7 project.
