Meth and mentally ill Austrian.
Massive tanks and military marvels were a component of propaganda as much as or more than they were intended to used in battle

New materials = lighter and stronger and allows for more elaboration.

I've never seen an explanation concerning how you are meant to fit a naval turret onto a tank.
The hull would have to be twice as tall to contain all the below deck workings.

And parkinsons, alzheimers, syphilis, schizophrenia, was Jewish, had one ball, three balls, no balls and was actually a woman.
