THE KAISER'S PANZERS: German Tanks of The First World War - Images of War Series

1-249080

Charts the development of German armored vehicles during the First World War. The Imperial German Army's fledgling tank force fielded only twenty A7V tanks by the time of the November 1918 Armistice. To address this shortcoming, the German Army pressed more captured British Mark IV tanks into service through a dedicated workshop facility in Belgium during the final year of the war. A handful of these vehicles later saw service in the Freikorps to suppress left-wing uprisings in Berlin and Leipzig. Draws on contemporary records, newsreels, and newspaper accounts.
