15/17 cm Sturmgeschütz auf E100 Fahrgestell - Seriously Overkill FIXED AUDIO

This video has been reuploaded because the previous version had sound coming from only one side. This has now been fixed.

The E100, a 100-tonne experimental chassis developed by the firm of Adler using the Krupp 130-tonne Tiger-Maus design, was never finished. Partially complete at the end of the war, it was recovered to the UK for testing and evaluation and the ‘tank’ part of its history has, since the war, remained centered on this aspect of it. The design was a complicated and drawn out process and the use of the hull went further than just a tank concept.

When, in May 1944, the opportunity to work on a new vehicle mounting a 15 cm or 17 cm gun came up, there were two hulls optioned for it: the Maus (designed by Porsche and built by Krupp), and the E100 (designed by Krupp, added to by Adler, and to be built by Krupp). Krupp, therefore, embarked on another task, how to fit the huge 15 cm or 17 cm gun onto their as yet unbuilt, and untested E100 chassis.
