Description

The E 25 was thesecond largest Panzer in the Entwicklungsfahrzeug series created by Oberbaurat Kniepkamp of Wa Pruef 6 . The detailed design con tract was awarded to Argus Werke in Karlsruhe, with the design project directed by Dr. Klaue. The E 25 was to have rear drive and share many parts with the E 10. In January 1945, the Entwicklungskommission decided that this design was still worth pursuing as it again filled a vacancy in the Panzerprogramm for vehicles in the 25 ton class. A drawing shows the E 25 outfitted with a 7.5 cm Pak L/70 gun mounted on the glacis plate. Selection of a weapon for series production hadnt been determined in January 1945. only a few Versuchsfahrgestell were ordered. The design had not proceeded far enough to con sider mass production . According to Oberbaurat Kniepkamp in postwar interrogation s, three E 25 hulls were reported to be at Alkett in Berlin-Spand au, but they were no longer there when Western Allies went to investigate.
