------------------------------
-- Also aired as "Nazi Megastructures" in NatGeo --
In the quest for world domination, the Nazis built some of the biggest and deadliest pieces of military hardware and malevolent technology in history.
With brilliant, dark minds and a legion of slave labor at their disposal, the Nazis believed the path to ultimate victory was to out-build and out-engineer their enemies. To them, bigger definitely meant better, and better meant more lethal.
As Hitler's grip on Europe tightened, he ordered men like Wernher von Braun, Ferdinand Porsche and Alfried Krupp to build increasingly outlandish machines and structures to realize his master plan. Creating huge terror machines, hi-tech superguns and some of the original weapons of mass destruction to control a nation, conquer a continent and win the war.
This is World War II told from a new perspective. The series uncovers the engineering secrets of six iconic mega-structures, tells the stories of the evil geniuses that designed them and reveals how these structures sparked a technological revolution that changed warfare forever.

4) Super Tanks
Hitler's megalomaniacal impulses led him to demand the construction of the largest tank the world had ever seen -- a mobile fortress weighing 180 tons. But even this colossus couldn't satisfy Hitler's thirst for enormous weapons of war, as he went on to request a land battleship weighing 1,000 tons.
This is the story of the Nazi engineers and technicians tasked with fulfilling that dream of very special miracle weapons, and an arms race that resulted in the evolution of super-guns and tanks that had the most destructive power.
