Where there any heavy tanks that were part of German forces in Norway? During the invasion of occupation of the Country.

Thanks!

Hi Chip,

Assume you are talking about the invasion in 40, Germany's heaviest tank used were some experienmental panzer which only a few were made (mutli-turreted)

here is a link

HTH.

Good to know I still have the panzer touch... #:-) (++) (++) (++)

The only "heavy" German built tanks in Norway that I'm aware of were these, the PzKpfw NbFz V/VI



Only a handfull were built. You can find more info here

IIRC there was some company (can't recall who) that made a resin kit to 1/35.
