[QB]Madcap, they would come from Henschel and Porsche, where most did get built at. At least 90 Porsche's were used in operation Citedel, if im not mistaken, and had untested crews so they did not near as well as expected.

The Maus would make an awsome tank as static defense. It would be impossible to knock it out from the front and most likely so from the sides.

I agree, getting the Maus to where it could be used was and would be a nightmare and I wont argut that. The main thing I wanted to say--bearing in mind that the Maus had already been in position, that it would be a very deadly "pillbox" to deal with.

These would be dug-in and as their size demands it, they would most assuredly, have Infantry support. There is nothing that couldnt be knocked-out or destroyed but this could come close to it.>>

Well, my question is: wouldn't it have been a hell of a lot cheaper/more effective, to just design/build a really good pillbox? A Maus turret, perhaps?
