Historical information about the Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.A

The light tank Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.A was one of the first armored vehicles of the Third Reich, used mainly between 1934 and 1941. It participated both in the intervention in Spain during the civil war and in the early campaigns of the Second World War – Poland, France, Norway, and even in Operation Barbarossa. Although its armament and armor were considered inadequate even at the beginning of the war, the vehicle played a key role in training German tank crews and supporting infantry during the first years of the conflict. Around 818 units of the Ausf.A version were produced, which was characterized by a shorter engine compartment and reliable, though weak, armament – two MG 13 machine guns.
