VK 36.01 (H)

The VK 36.01 (H) was an experimental German heavy tank during World War II.^[1] The VK 36.01 H was further development of the VK 30.01 H experimental medium tank. There were only 8 chassies and one of the tanks built, the chassies and tank were built by Henschel. At the time Henschel was assigned with developing a break through weapon that would help defeat the Soviets. Also other experimental heavy tanks and super-heavy tank were built, designed, and tested in Henschel. The development of the V.K. 36.01 H lead to the development of the Tiger I tank, a tank that played an important role in World War 2. The tanks development lead to other tank development also. Then in 1942 the project was stopped in favor of the VK 45.01.
