The mighty Panzerkampfwagen E-100 is a mysterious German prototype super heavy tank developed in the final stages of World War II. The vehicle was designed as part of the Entwicklungsserie program, which aimed to develop a range of unique armored vehicles of various types. Work began in 1943 but was disrupted in 1944. The Henschel company attempted to continue the work on a limited scale. It became possible to produce the hull, on which, according to plans from 1943, a modified Maus turret was supposed to be mounted. Further modifications were also considered to allow for the installation of even larger caliber weapons. The E-100 tank was captured by the Allies and sent to the UK for testing in 1945 and later scrapped. There is only modest photographic and drawing documentation of the E-100 tank. Due to its uniqueness and size, the vehicle is very popular and is often featured not only in historical literature but also in games and documentaries.
