In total, one unfinished prototype was built (chassis and body without turret)[1]. In the summer of 1941, the German military found that the Soviet Union was superior to Nazi Germany in terms of heavy tanks, the Soviet KV-1 and KV-2 had a number of advantages over the German heavy tanks of those years, so in the fall of 1942, the Land Forces Armament Directorate (Heereswaffenamt, UVS) set the task for the largest German engineering concerns in a short time. to create German heavy and superheavy breakthrough tanks that surpass their Soviet counterparts in both armor and armament. The project to create a heavy tank, later designated the Tiger, was joined by Henschel, its chief designer Heinrich Ernst Knipkamp, and Porsche, led by its founder Ferdinand Porsche. Already at the start of this project, serious competition between these two companies began. The Henschel company developed the VK 45.01 (H) prototype, which later became the Pz.Kpfw VI "Tiger I", and the Porsche company created a prototype VK 45.01 (P), which later received the designation Pz.Kpfw VI "Tiger P" ("Tiger Porsche"). On April 20, 1943, two prototypes were shown to Hitler and the military, after which the Henschel project was selected for mass production. On July 8, 1943, Hitler held a meeting to discuss the creation of a super-heavy breakthrough tank. Then two projects were proposed: VK 72.01 from Krupp and Typ 205 "Mouse" from Porsche, on the basis of which the Mouse was later developed. Meanwhile, Henschel began developing a series of tanks of the Entwicklung project, which included armored vehicles ranging from the E—5 light tank to the E-100 superheavy tank, which was supposed to be the main competitor to the Porsche project. The designers of the automotive company Adler Werke also helped Henschel in the development of the E-100. To save time for the E-100, it was decided not to develop a new turret, but to use the Krupp turret, originally developed for the Mouse, and install a 150-mm cannon with a 75-mm cannon in it. Production of the E-100 prototype began at the Adler Werke plant in Frankfurt am Main, but later the Henschel company took over the construction of the tank, and by June 1944 the armored chassis of the tank was ready. But in 1944, an order was issued to suspend the production of super-heavy tanks, including the Maus and E-100. The tower was never received from Krupp E-100, and the unfinished prototype itself was taken to storage for further possible resumption of production at the Haustenbeck landfill near the city of Paderborn. In the spring of 1945, the chassis was captured by the British military, and later it was sent to England, where local engineers were able to assemble the chassis and bring it into working order. In the course of subsequent tests, it turned out that the resulting tank, even without installing a turret and some other structural elements, has a very low cross-country capability and a maximum speed that does not exceed 20 km/ h. Some time later, the unfinished prototype was sent for remelting.[1][2][3][4][5].The E-100 was to have 200 mm thick frontal armor and turret armor, while the side armor and stern armor were to reach 180 mm. According to the requirements, the mass of the tank was supposed to be from 150 to 200 tons and carry a 120-150 mm main gun, but the Henschel designers planned a tank mass of 100-120 tons and a 150 mm cannon was planned as the main armament. To save time on the first copies of the tank, they decided to install a turret for a 128-mm cannon with a 75-mm cannon, already developed by the Krupp concern for the Maus tank. The suspension system for the tank was developed by designer Lehr from MAN. T
