Multiple? A Main Battle Tank such as the German Leopard 2 weighs 62,300 kg (137, 347 lb). Even a puny WW2 Sherman medium tank weighed in the neighborhood of 70,000 lb.

An M4 Sherman weighed about 35 tons when including fuel, crew and ammunition. So technically, it could hold two, though it would be a risky endeavor.
35 tons is close to 70000lbs
not to be pedantic, but in America 35 tons is exactly 70,000 lbs
Oops, I misread the comment about the bridge. I would assume German bridges would use metric measures.
