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.

The E25 with 8.8 cm, 10.5 cm or an autoloader would have been a ergonomic and space nightmare for the crew. I would imagine the crews already cuddling around each other.

@autofox1744

Ah yes, the E25. Because WoT wasn't frustrating enough.

@FrankJmClarke

14 competing standards. Develop one universal standard to fix this. 15 competing standards.

@michaeldenesyk3195

It looks like the E25 was resurrected in the cold war as the Kanonenjagdpanzer (KanJPz)! Same general layout, but larger and with a 90 mm gun and later an ATGM weapon installed. Just my opinion, but the similarities are striking

@Donir100

The most memorable cockroach in existence.

@anlydaly5726

There's something about seeing a vehicle that someone put time and effort into, that either never got a chance or was a complete failure being given a second chance in a videogame that just makes me happy.

@HeinzGuderian_

The Cockroach is hilariously fun to play in WoT. If only it had more ammo to keep the comedy going longer.

@awesom6588

I love the e25!!! Would love to see more info about all the e tanks

@herbertgearing1702

The E25 is popular because of the ridiculous camo rating. Between having a relatively small gun and being low to the ground it is basically invisible whilst it shoots you.

@TripleRbooks

One small thing I really appreciate, is the lack of the term "Hetzer" when mentioning the jagdpanzer 38(t). While retroactively attached and recognized as a quasi-offical title, such attention to small details are greatly appreciated! Just one of the many things I love about this channel and its website.

@nowthenzen

I read somewhere, and sorry, don't remember where, that TD crews preferred bigger gun over armor. The reasoning being what you just blew up can't hurt you.

@wolf_7479

Never would I have expected a FHSW mention, very cool.

@zichenglong6992

I remember my group of friends referring to this as the little roach in WoT lol

@EstellammaSS

It’s just hilarious to me that the solution they had to solve production and development problems is to introduce 5 additional paper design that requires retooling of all current factories which would dramatically slow or stop production for several months.

@masonicrat

"Terror Online, Failure in Reality" sounds like the IS3 & 7... but on a serious note, love the videos!

@larry-three8225

I do not have this tank in World of Tanks, but as an M36 Jackson main, I have found that when engaging E 25's, one must focus their ammunition rack.

@alhemicaribastovani9029

Realy informative video 😮

@WildBillCox13

Reminiscent of the much later Jagdpanzer Kanone (90mm).

@Drownedinblood

Aestethic plays a major role in why theres a renewal of interest in these. Their sleek plain design is now seen as futuristic while before it was seen as too spartan.
