As far as I know, (according to Yuri Pasholok, Military Historian) the "Jagtiger Variant" of StuG Maus is fake and impossible one due to the internal layout of Maus itself. The most possible is rear-casemate variant.
ReplyDeleteAs well as Jagdpanzer E-100 Crocodile - it's also a fake, an impossible in real life fake. Both superheavy TDs on Maus and E-100 were supposed to be rear-casemated.
