Historical Description of the E-100 Tank

The E-100 was a super-heavy tank designed by Germany at the end of World War II as part of the so-called Entwicklung (E-Series). It was intended as a response to Allied heavy tanks and to compete with the famous Maus. The E-100 tank was never completed or put into service – only the chassis was built, which was taken over by British forces after the war. This model, with a Maus turret, presents a hypothetical, final version of the E-100 that never saw service, but is a fascinating example of late 1940s German engineering thought.
