Hitler has been successfully removed and the new government is attempting the impossible...Will they succeed?

For all new Rush for Berlin Screenshots

The National Socialist propaganda machine is spreading information about "superior arms technology" in order to strengthen the Germans' resolve and boost morale for victory. Some of these super weapons and prototypes are represented in Rush for Berlin:

 Maus: Weighing in at 188 tons, this was the Germans' mightiest tank. Hitler verbally placed an order for the Maus tank with Ferdinand Porsche on 8 June 1942. Two prototypes of the Maus tank were supplied to the Wehrmacht in 1944, but both were destroyed on the testing grounds before they could fall into the hands of the advancing Red Army. A reconstruction made up of parts from both destroyed prototypes is now on display in the Russian museum of Kubinka.

 Goliath: This was a light remote-control demolition vehicle (816 lb) which could steer explosives into enemy positions. Its original purpose was to blow up enemy positions or even tanks from a safe distance. Since the explosive charge could not be dropped, the entire vehicle was blown up in the process. In the game, the German Goliath destroys tanks.

 Messerschmitt 262: The Me 262 was the first jet fighter in the world to be used in battle against other machines. Its wings were of a revolutionary design and made it faster than any Allied plane. The German construction was the world's first jet-powered plane. The game features a whole mission focusing on the first jet plane in the world.

 T-28/T-95: The American Super Heavy Tank was intended to assert itself in attacks on heavy fortifications and be safe from any other tanks previously produced. A newly developed 105 mm quick firing cannon was to be its main armament. Though this vehicle was originally called the T-28, it was renamed T-95 after the decision was made to mount the gun on the front of the hull rather than on a turret.

 Rheintochter: A German anti-air missile that was to support their AA guns. It was radio-controlled from the ground.

 Sturmtiger: A combination assault gun and artillery vehicle. The lack of a rotating turret made the tank look like an assault gun. It was initially used as< a supporting unit for bombarding fortifications and bunkers, and later in support of regular tank units.

Rush for Berlin, the new generation WWII RTS title from the creators of Panzers will be shipping to stores in May 2006. For more information, please visit the Rush for Berlin website.
