March Military Campaign - now that?s what I call ground clearance

Okay, I’m done. I’ve reached the apex of pure awesomeness. Nothing I ever post from here on out will match the German NK-101 Minenraumer rolling mine exploder (which the guys cataloging the odd vehicles of the Third Reich must have missed).

Unfortunately, little seems known about it. It currently resides in the Kubinka, Russia tank museum, and the Russians captured it from the Germans after World War II. It appears to have just two “wheels,” but a little Googling on the term Minenraumer turns up some three- and four-”wheeled” versions, so the tailsection and third wheel in the above pictures could simply be obscured by the two huge front wheels (okay, so a three-wheeled version wouldn’t be as cool as a two-wheeled version). And according to one forum commenter out there, it was a joint project between Krupp, Daimler-Benz and Alkett and weighed in at 38 tons. (via)
