I know what this one was for. Camouflage method to confuse air units which still allowed the vehicle to be mobile. All you needed was a car that covered 2/3 of the main vehicle and one idiot to sit on the car and look innocuous. The project was dropped in 1945 as someone realised they didn't have any cars big enough to cover 2/3's of a Tiger II and they were running out of available idiots - there was one in a bunker who would have been perfect but he said he was busy with other things.
