Historical Information

The E-100 project was part of the German Entwicklung program, aimed at creating a series of modern armored vehicles. Work began in the summer of 1943. In addition to its impressive size, this vehicle was to have powerful armament and armor resistant to most contemporary shells. Construction of the prototype was halted following Hitler’s order in 1944, which stopped further development of super-heavy tanks. By the end of the war, only a partially completed prototype existed, which was eventually captured by Allied forces in April 1945, handed over to the British, and scrapped.
