Remembered Today:

German tracked AFV

I came across this image today.

Is this an example of the Überlandwagen based on the A7V chassis?

I'd only heard of British supply tanks up to now. Every day is a school day.

Whatver it is I wouldn't mind having a go with it.

 

Not quite so de-luxe though as this thing - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1922992/Video-Russian-YouTubers-outfit-Bentley-tank-tracks-awesome-clip.html

 

Gareth, your answer while precise, is a bit like a certain beer as it certainly does not satisfy - were these 'common' or what?

Julian,

according pal „The Prussian“ who posted on the https://www.feldgrau-forum.com/ that there were 100 chassis made and were used as follows

22 for the A7V prototype

20 for the A7V

1 for the A7V-U

3 for the A7V Flakpanzer

2 for the signals version

1 as an Artillery tractor

The remaining chassis were mainly used for the munitions/carrier version.

Thanks Charlie. Never realised how complex the track-drive system was!
