However, the T28’s story and existence is often confused, mostly because it went by a few different names back in the 1940s. That’s right, they lost a 100-ton tank and found it in a bush three decades later. Known to many as the Doom Turtle, Zoom Turtle and Tutel for obvious reasons, the T28 has indeed become a legend – even though it never really did much of anything.Īnd as if the T28’s appearance wasn’t already meme-worthy enough, the US military managed to lose it for almost three decades, before finding it again in a bush. But still, weighing nearly 100 tons, having four tracks, a foot of frontal armor and a strong resemblance to a turtle is the perfect recipe for an icon. Ironically, the T28 never saw combat, having missed both the end of the war in Europe and Japan before it was ready. Developed during the Second World War as a potential counter to enemy fortifications in Europe, this quad-tracked beast was fitted with so much armor that no anti-tank guns could kill it. Today we are finally covering what is in our opinion, one of the coolest and most interesting tanks ever built: the Superheavy Tank T28.
