The E-100 was an experimental German WWII super heavy tank. The only prototype hull of this tank was built in 1943 or 1944. The car never entered mass production. The E-100 was to be powered by a single engine Maybach HL 230 P30 or Maybach HL 234 with 700 hp and 800 hp respectively. It was probably armed with a 128mm KwK 44 L / 55 gun and 2 machine guns MG34 cal. 7.92 mm.
Tank prototype The E-100 was created as part of the Entwicklungsserie program, a program for the development of German armor, which was to lead to a standardized design of a series of six tanks of different weights, but using as many common components as possible. The E-100 tank in this project was to be the heaviest tank, based on the chassis of the Pz.Kpfw VI Tiger II Ausf. B. The emphasis was on the strongest possible main armament and powerful armor - especially at the front of the turret and hull. However, the project, despite its far-reaching advancement, was abandoned in 1944, and the E-100 never entered mass production.
The Rheintochter (German daughter of the Renu) was a German, experimental, surface-to-air guided missile of the Second World War. The Rheintochter was a two-stage missile with a range from 16,000 meters capable of carrying a warhead weighing up to 22-24 kilograms.
The first works on the Rheintochter began in 1941 at the Rheinmetall-Borsig company, but the first copies of the missile were not ready until the fall of 1943. The Rheintochter was to constitute the equipment of anti-aircraft units and - from 1943 - to fight the Allied bomb expeditions over Germany. The missile was to be as effective as possible, which meant the use of radio-wave guidance. In total, three versions of the Rheintochter missile were created. The first one, marked as R1, did not reach the speed of sound and in fact was used primarily for experiments with the steering system and general aerodynamic assumptions of the projectile. Very similar to the R1 version was the R2 version which, however, proved to be highly unsuccessful and was abandoned in 1944. The final version was the Rheintochter R3 missile in which the propulsion system and the location of the warhead were changed. This resulted in a significant improvement in performance, but the power unit turned out to be extremely emergency, which made it impossible to introduce the system into the line. Finally, the Rheintochter program was canceled in February 1945. Probably about 50 missiles of this type were created, which were used only for tests and experiments.
