Soviet NI Tank , also known as the "Odesskiy Tank" . It was made using the STZ-5 agricultural tractor , lots of heavy armor installed on it and the mounting turrets from T-26 tanks.

THAT doesn't look like it worked out so well.... Actually it worked pretty well , the first time German troops came into contact with an armor unit that had this tanks , the German troops retreated , giving the Soviet troops some breathing room to reinforce the defences around the City of Odessa . Not sure about the weight of it since all the info i have found about it only gives the type of weapons mounted on it and the armor plates installed on them varied.

Wow, that is one ugly tank. It looks exactly like what it is... a tractor with a bunch of ammor welded to it. I like it.

THE SEETEUFEL ( Sea Devil ) This was an amphibious two-man midget-submarine , the first prototype was ready for testing in July 1944. The 'Seeteufel' was to be armed either with two torpedoes or mines and either machine guns or flame-throwers

The (ugly) sister of Adler's vehicle. I give you... the Wehrmacht Wasserschlepper. Yes, it's a tugboat they put Panzer IV tracks on. Why not? ;D

The inventor was probably inspired by this 1939 German experiment

Well, tracks are superior to wheels on harsh terrains, no wonder they use those

The Indiana Jones flying Wing was fictional , but based on many designs from all over the world at the time , Britain had a couple of flying wings , the Germans has some and even Argentina had a Flying Wing Transport thanks to the Horten Brothers in the 1960's The Horten Brothers in Germany had some kick ass Flying Wings in the works. This is the test Horten Flying Wing Fighter And this fits in the weird section , the pilot had to wear a special suit and helmet to fly at high altitudes This is Argentina's Flying Wing Transport , the IA38 Naranjero

"British mobile concrete pillboxes from 1940 , this one is from the Bovington Museum"
How many people could man a gun and fit in that? (Excluding the driver).

I wonder what the life expectancy of the tires (or tyres) and the springs was, lugging that thing around.
