A kugelblitz (German: [ˈkuːɡl̩ˌblɪt͡s] ⓘ) is a theoretical astrophysical object predicted by general relativity. It is a concentration of heat , light or radiation so intense that its energy forms an event horizon and becomes self-trapped.
"Kugelblitz" model, showing gun elevation. The Kugelblitz combined the chassis and basic superstructure of the Panzer IV tank with a newly designed oscillating turret. This turret was fully enclosed, with overhead protection and 360° traverse. Mass production was planned, but never happened due to the disruption by Allied bombing efforts. [2]

Although not immediately equivalent, a possible precursor to the Kugelpanzer was a one-man World War I tank known in France as a bouclier roulant ("rolling shield"). [4] A 1936 article in Popular Science described a Texan inventor's design for a spherical armoured vehicle that was dubbed a "tumbleweed tank".

This variant was produced from mid 1944 to the end of 1944, before switching production to the 234/4. The final variant produced was the Sd.Kfz. 234/4, which replaced the L/24 gun with the 7.5 cm L/46 PaK 40. This was yet another attempt to increase the mobility of this anti-tank gun; however, the 234 chassis was stretched to its limits.
Hummel (German: "bumblebee") was a German self-propelled gun used by the Wehrmacht during World War II.Based on the Geschützwagen III/IV chassis and armed with the 15 cm sFH 18/1 L/30 howitzer, it saw action from early 1943 until the end of the war.
