Historical Background of the Model

The E-50 was a German medium tank project developed as part of the so-called “E-Series” (Entwicklung), an initiative aiming to simplify and modernize the production of German armored vehicles at the end of World War II. Although no units were built before the end of hostilities, the E-50 was intended to serve as a successor to the Panther and Panzer IV models, offering increased firepower, improved protection, and higher speed. The proposal to arm it with a powerful 105 mm gun would have given it tremendous armor-piercing capability; the concept was considered between 1944 and 1945, but such tanks remained at the stage of documentation and technical plans.
