As Father Hentai provided, the Edelweiss, imo is most likely a direct imitation of the German prototype E-50 series tank that never debuted in the war. However, it has all the physical resemblances of the Edelweiss, including the turret design that we have been fussing over in the last couple posts. The E-50 includes a short barrel 8.8 cm KwK 42, with 800 horse power and weighs around 50 tons (which is pretty light for a heavy tank). All in all, specifications of the E-50 and the physical appearance is the best match I have found yet that resembles the Edelweiss.
