Described product – historical background and use

The Kugelpanzer, or "spherical tank," is one of the most enigmatic armor projects of the Third Reich. Its intended purpose has never been fully explained, though historians speculate that it was meant for reconnaissance, carrying messages, or deploying obstacles during positional warfare. A known specimen of the vehicle is located in the Kubinka museum in Russia, and its participation in combat operations remains unconfirmed—however, there are suspicions that it may have been tested on the Eastern Front or in Manchuria. The Kugelpanzer was used (or tested) in the years 1939–1945, i.e., during World War II, mainly by Germany.
