    i have a question regarding the road wheels of the maus: in some pics you can see that they are uniform, no holes on the rim but in other you can see a series of holes, perhaps 10 or 12 holes per road wheel, why is that ?do they change them during the trials ?

    It's what was known technically as 'Nagetier-Schaden' (Rodent-Damage) they are only 'Maus-Holes'.

    They used different roadwheels for the V1 and V2 prototypes.
