The Panzerkampfwagen E-100 (Gerät 383) (TG-01) was a German super-heavy tank design developed towards the end of World War II. It was the largest of the Entwicklung series of tank designs which was intended to improve German armored vehicle production through standardization on cheaper, simpler to build vehicles.
This is a list of VK-designated tanks made by Germany from 1930s until 1945.. Versuchskonstruktion (abbreviated to VK or Vs.Kfz.) from Versuchs Kraftfahrzeug meaning "research/experimental vehicle," [citation needed] was used in the names of some German experimental or prototype tanks produced before and during World War II.
During early development the Maus turret was planned for the E-100, but later a modified Maus II turret was proposed to have been used. It would have housed 128 mm KwK 44 L/55 (75 rounds) and a 7.5 cm KwK 37 L/24. [8] According to Panzer Tracts 6-3, there was a proposal for the 15 cm KwK 44 L/38 to be mounted on the E-100 as well.

There were several cannon put forward for possible use with the E-100, of varying calibre diameter, but by chance they were all 44 calibre in length. The smallest was still the largest AFV gun fielded in WW2, the 12.8 cm Pak 44. As described in that article it was an anti-tank gun (Pak - Panzerabwehrkanone) on a wheeled mount.
The V-100 was a projected side-by-side twin-rotor compound helicopter combat aircraft from Kamov.It had a pusher propeller located behind the rear tailplane, rotors mounted on the tips of its wings and two turbines mounted above the central fuselage, to have the aircraft exceed a projected speed of 400 km/h.
