Well, on that theme, then: in an alternate history, a supertank is decisive in ending a war. Author and book, please.

To get to the battle, the supertank has to be transported across the Atlantic. The protagonist, an accidental traveller between universes, is on board a ship in the escort fleet as a neutral observer.

This looks like something from Stanislaw Lem's Star Diaries.
