History.

The Panzerkampfwagen E-100 stands as a mysterious German super-heavy tank prototype developed during the final stages of World War II. It was part of the Entwicklungsserie program, which aimed to create a range of unique armored vehicles with diverse capabilities. Development began in 1943 but was halted by 1944. Henschel attempted to continue the project to a limited extent, resulting in the production of the hull. The plan was to mount a modified Maus tank turret onto this hull, with further modifications considered to accommodate even larger caliber guns. The Allies captured the vehicle, and in 1945, it was sent to Great Britain for testing before being eventually scrapped. Due to the limited photographic and drawing documentation available, the E-100 tank retains an air of mystery. However, its uniqueness and imposing size have made it a popular subject in historical literature, as well as in various games and documentaries.
