Panzer I — танк Гитлера без пушки, с которого началась мировая война!

The Panzer I—Hitler's cannonless tank that started the world war. We tell the full story of the first mass-produced German tank, the Panzerkampfwagen I: how Germany, humiliated by the Treaty of Versailles, secretly built it under the guise of a tractor; how this six-ton, machine-gun-armed vehicle, without a single cannon, failed in Spain against Soviet T-26 tanks; how it traveled through Poland, Norway, France, and North Africa; and finally burned out on the Eastern Front, transforming from the scourge of Europe into an obsolete trap for its own crews. Armor thickness ranged from 5 to 13 mm, a crew of only two, approximately 1,500 vehicles produced—and its role as the Wehrmacht's main tank at the start of World War II.
