German Main Battle Tank

Perhaps the Germans would have been better off if they had surreptitiously imported a foreign tank and used that as their starting model?



The pz1 was based on a carden loyd chassis (I'd guess the tankette because of the beam across the wheels) according to the guy that was pushing the german tank arm. developemant.
 
But did they need to build so many before switching to larger tanks?



The larger vehicles took longer than expected, and the tankers wanted as much of anything as they could get. I've never understood why they didn't build a version of the Renault. The pz1 doesn't look like any kind of improvement except being faster.
