Maus question

Does anybody know where the antennae of the Maus was supposed to be? Or maybe the Maus didn't need any radio communication because was supposed to simply move forward to the enemy, fire all his ammunitions, and turn back to the lines? Obviously, only if it could have maneged to get out of the factory, climb on a train, disembark and move to the front.

I'll use one of them for the next battle at the local game club. Thank You! L.

The illustrations and pictures I have been able to find show two antennas (antennae?) one on either side of the hull just forward of the turret. Do a web search for Panzer Maus and you should be able to find some pics and drawings.

Check the page on Maus at www.achtungpanzer.com
There are several photos showing the antenae placement, which is as SSgtBuck has noted.

Jim,

Many thanks for posting the link to www.achtungpanzer.com! That's one I didn't know about -- and as time permits, I will have to explore it much further.

Regards,
Tom Stockton
