Terror Online, Failure in Reality | Entwicklungsfahrzeug 25 (E 25)

The World War 2-era Germanic obsession with unique, overly-complicated and maintenance-heavy vehicles has been well documented by historians and engineers alike. However, rarely is attention given to the various attempts Germany made to move away from this notorious stereotype and towards more standardized and resource-efficient methods of production. As such, the highlight of today’s video is the Entwicklungsfahrzeug-25, a ‘paper tank’ that at best existed only as an experimental chassis, and never reached production status. The E-25 was part of the E-series of armored fighting vehicles proposed by Oberbaurat Kneipkamp , civilian head of automotive design at Wa Prüf 6. This was the office responsible for the development and testing of new tanks and motorized equipment for the Wehrmacht.
