E-100 photo

Hi all,

Can someone verify this photo or is it Photoshopped ?

Looks wrong to me, the lighting on the tank is somehow out from the other vehicles in the scene.

I have read in the past, the Germans built a single incomplete prototype E100, which was taken back to GB for evaluation then scrapped.

That's what I thought too, and the details seems inconsistent also, but boy the E-100 certainly looks its parts though.

Photoshopped.

DEFINITELY photo shopped!

That is the same hull the British carted off then scrapped.

Just for interest had a big talk about this a while ago the U.S. took a functioning unit tested and stripped it , my understanding is that there was more than one and here is the proof .

The engineering was so advanced no wonder they where keen to get there hands on it and how we have used the technology , jet engines and rocket advancement and including sat communications .

I have to agree the photo has a element of photo shop manipulation .

Kiaser we (the British) already had jet technology

The Brits had created a jet engine pre-war, but when the war came along it was a matter of mass production of reliable aircraft.

By the end of the war we were looking at a different ballgame.

The Centurion had already been developed and was about to go into production?

The Germans were always ten steps ahead though:

Add V2 development and the atomic bomb, long range supersonic bombers that could reach the USA, and the war had to be won when it was, as within months we would have had nothing to fight back with.

There was only one E100 hull unless you can find some evidence that contradicts Jentz and Doyles exhaustive research which is, no offense, incredibly unlikely as you'd be going up against people who've spent their lives researching this.

Let's be honest here the jet in the 262 was rubbish very unreliable and often needing replacement after one flight sir franks was far superior out of the box and while I'm sure looking at the German jet was interesting I doubt much was learned.
