The Treaty of Versailles, signed at the end of WWI, forbade Germany to have or produce tanks and armoured fighting vehicles of any kind. However, the German Government managed to evade the Treaty provisions by authorising the production of 15 tank hulls without superstructures or turrets. Disguised as 'training vehicles' those tanks were aimed at military reinforcement of Germany.
The Ausf. A ohne Aufbau was one of the training vehicles designed at that time. Featuring an entirely open interior without a superstructure and turret, it had room for five crew members: a student driver, an instructor and three more observers behind them.

The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was a light four-wheel drive armoured car produced by Nazi Germany between 1935 and 1944. The first model of the series, the Sd.Kfz.221 was armed with a 7.92 mm Maschinengewehr 13 machine gun and designed for carrying a two man crew. Due to its small size and thin armour the vehicle was recognised as inefficient and in 1940 went out of production.

The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was a German light armoured car produced from 1935 until 1944. Germany developed several variants of this vehicle. The Sd. Kfz. 222 was an improved version of the Sd. Kfz. 221, armed initially with a 2cm KwK 30 L/55 and a 7.92mm MG 13. Later on the MG 13 machine gun was replaced by the Maschinengewehr 34, and the KwK 30 was replaced by the KwK 38 of the same calibre. This variant of the vehicle was called the Leichter Panzerspähwagen 2 cm. Its production ran from 1937 to 1943 with nearly a thousand vehicles built in total.
The Sd. Kfz. 222 proved to be very efficient in the Balkans in 1941. Large numbers of these armoured cars were also sent to North Africa, however the limited volume of their fuel tanks meant the lack of effective range. The Sd. Kfz. 222 was gradually substituted with the Sd.Kfz.250/9 (Hanomag). A small number of vehicles were sold to China in 1939.

The Steyr ADGZ was developed for the Austrian Army by Austro-Daimler (which later merged with Steyr Automobile) from 1934 and delivered to the army in 1935-1937. In "ADGZ", "AD" stands for "Austro-Daimler". Its Austrian designation was M35 Mittlere Panzerwagen. During the Anschluss - the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany - the Austrian army had 12 ADGZ armoured cars in use, and 15 more were used by the police. The Germans started using the ADGZ for police work and some vehicles were used by the SS on the Eastern Front and the Balkans. In 1942, the SS received 25 additional ADGZ cars.
The ADGZ was suitable for both urban usage and for maneuvering off-road. It had 6mm armour and weighed 12 tons. Either end of the vehicle was capable of driving the unit: drivers could operate the vehicle from the front or the rear switching almost immediately due to the dual transmission.

The German tank destroyer Marder III was deployed from 1942 until 1945 on all fronts of the Second World War. The Marder used the chassis and the roofless fighting compartment of the Panzer 38(t). Its main armament was either the Soviet 76-mm divisional field gun M1936 or the German 75-mm Pak 40 anti-tank gun.
The Sd.Kfz.138 Ausf.M was the latest variant of the series armed with the 75mm Pak 40. Unlike the previous models, this variant featured sloped armour and an improved fighting compartment which was closed in the rear for better protection of the crew. The rear-mounted engine of the vehicle was replaced with an engine installed between the driver and the crew. This gave the crew more room in the fighting compartment decreasing their exposure to enemy fire. However, the compartment remained open-topped.
The crew of the Marder III Ausf.M included a commander, a gunner, a loader and a driver. About 1,000 units of the Ausf.M were built between 1943 and 1944.

The Panzerkampfwagen I was a light tank developed in Germany in the run-up to WWII. Abbreviated Pz. Kpfw. I, the tank was officially designated Sd.Kfz.101.
As Germany was restricted by the Treaty of Versailles in its military capability, the first tank prototypes were produced under the code name Landwirtschaftlicher Schlepper which meant 'Agricultural Tractor'. The prototypes were armed with two 7.92 mm MG 13 machine guns and were used as training vehicles by German armed troops.
The Ausf. A was the first combat vehicle of the Panzer I series. Its thin armour and suspension problems resulted in weak performance on the battlefield. However, the improved versions were in military service during all German campaigns between 1939 and 1941 including the Invasion of Poland and the Battle of France.
Although the Panzer I models were of little use against even the lightest tanks of that era, they contributed significantly to the development of German military production.

The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was a light four-wheel drive armoured car produced by Nazi Germany between 1935 and 1944. It had the standard sPkw I Horch 801 chassis and a 67 kW (90 hp) Horch 3.5 petrol engine, which gives it a road speed of 80 km/h and a cross-country speed of 40 km/h. The car had a maximum range of 300 km. Its armament consisted of one 2 cm KwK 30 L/55 main cannon and one MG 34 secondary machine gun.
The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was used by the reconnaissance battalions of the Panzer divisions. It performed well enough in countries with good road networks, like Western Europe, but on the Eastern Front and in North Africa it was hampered by its relatively poor off-road performance and was gradually replaced in the reconnaissance role by the Sdkfz 250 half-track.

The Flak 38(t) was a German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun of the Second World War. An improved version of the Flak 30, it was widely used by different German forces. Rheinmetall created the Flak 38 in order to improve the fire rate of the Flak 30. The Flak 38 had a fire rate of 220 rpm (compared to 120 rpm of its predecessor) and much lower weight. In 1939, the Flak 38 was recognised as the standard Army gun, but later on Mauser came up with its even lighter modification, the Gebirgsflak 38, which could be easily used against both air and surface targets.

Land-Wasser-Schlepper, an unarmed amphibious tractor of German production, was deployed by the Third Reich troops during the Second World War. It was intended for both land and naval operations. The vehicle had twin propellers and twin rudders similar to the ones of a ferry boat, and travelled on steel chain tracks.
The first tractors were used during the German invasion of the United Kingdom, known under the code name Operation Sea Lion, in order to tow barges and carry vehicles ashore.
LWS's proved to be good in action, but the factories at that time suffered from the lack of raw materials, so the tractor production was limited.

The German Panzerkampfwagen V Panther (or Panzer V) was deployed on the Eastern and Western Fronts from mid 1943 till the end of the war in 1945. It was primarily intended to counter the Soviet T-34 and substitute the Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks. Where the Panzerkampfwagen V Panther is generally considered to be the most well-known German tank of WW2, the Panther and the Soviet T-34/85 are considered to be the best all-round tanks of their time. The variations or models are Panther Ausf. A, Panther Ausf. D, Panther Ausf. G, Panther Ausf. F. There is also a considerable quantity of modified models such as maintenance or air defense tanks.

The Ausführung A (or Ausf. A, "Variant A"), built in 1936, was the first mass-produced version of Panzer IV. It had the Maybach's HL 108TR engine, producing 250 PS (183.87 kW), and used the SGR 75 transmission with five forward gears and one reverse gear. Ausf. A achieved a maximum road speed of 31 kilometres per hour (19.26 mph). Its main armament was a short-barreled Kampfwagenkanone 37 L/24 (KwK 37 L/24) 75mm (2.95 in) tank gun, which was primarily designed to fire high-explosive shells.
The KwK 37 fired Panzergranate (armor-piercing shell) at 430 metres per second (1,410 ft/s) and could penetrate 43mm (1.69 in) at ranges of up to 700 metres (2,300 ft). The Ausf. A was protected by a 14.5mm (0.57 in) steel armour on the front plate of the chassis, and 20mm (0.79 in) on the turret. This armour could only stop artillery fragments, small-arms fire, and light anti-tank projectiles. Only 35 Ausf. A's were built, and in 1937 production moved to the Ausf. B.

Initially the Panzer Kpfw. 38 (t) Ausf. E/F was a Czech tank designed before WW2. Its military designation was LT vz. 38 (Lehký tank vzor 38, Light Tank model 38). When Germany took over Czechoslovakia, the tank was adopted by the German Army and saw service in Poland, France and Russia. The (t) stands for 'tschechisch', the German word for Czech.
Panzer Kpfw. 38 (t) Ausf. E/F had a 3.7cm main gun and a 125hp engine allowing it to move at 42km/h. Over 1400 tanks were manufactured, until in 1942 production ended due to inadequate armament. The chassis continued to be produced for the Marder III, and some of the tank's components were used in the later Jagdpanzer 38 tank destroyers, turretless assault guns, as well as anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns.

The Pz.Kpfw 38 (t) was initially designed by ČKD (Českomoravská Kolben-Daněk) - Czech engineering company - in 1938. From May to November 1939, 150 tanks were produced for the Wehrmacht. They were designated Pz.Kpfw 38 (t) Ausf. A. These tanks had excellent technical characteristics - speed, armour protection and high reliability, and were considered to be the best light tanks in the beginning of WWII. They were also used by Hungarian, Romanian, Slovakian, and Bulgarian armies, and were exported to Sweden, Switzerland, Peru, and other countries.
The Pz.Kpfw 38 (t) Ausf. G was the result of a growing demand for heavier armour. This tank had a basic 50mm armour plate on all frontal surfaces. It was mainly used in Russia, with some models exported to Germany's allies.

The production of Panzer IV Ausf. B started in 1937. The original engine was substituted with the more powerful Maybach HL 120TR (220.65 kW). The tank also had the new SSG 75 transmission, with six forward gears and one reverse gear. The Ausf. B's speed increased to 39 km/h.
Only forty-two Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. B's were completed, and in 1938 production moved to the Ausf. C.

The Ausf. C was introduced in 1938. Due to the increased turret armour (30mm), the tank's weight went up from 16 to 18.14 tonnes. After assembling forty Ausf. C's, the tank's engine was replaced with the improved HL 120TRM.
From October 1938 to August 1939, 134 Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. C's were produced, and production moved to the Ausf. D. In August 1939, six of the 3.Serie/B.W. chassis were assembled and converted into bridge-laying tanks.

For the Operation Sea Lion, the planned invasion of the United Kingdom during the Battle of Britain, the Commander of the Army originally requested 180 underwater tanks. 42 Panzer IV Ausf.D's, as well as some Pz.III's and StuG III's, were converted into the Tauchpanzer ("diving tank"). All the openings were covered with rubber sheeting, and the turret ring was protected by inflatable rubber ring. The exhausts were fitted with non-return valves. The driver’s visor was made watertight by special metal cover with a visor block. Air was supplied via a flexible 18-meter hose held on the surface by a buoy. Tauchpanzers could submerge to a depth of about 15 meters, and had the maximum underwater speed of 3 mph. After the Operation was given up, almost all the vehicles were assigned to the 18th Panzer Division and some were used during the River Bug crossing in Operation Barbarossa.

The Panzer II tanks were produced from 1935 till 1943 and played an important role in the early years of WWII. By 1940-41 they were supplanted by the Panzer III's and Panzer IV's. The Pz.Kpfw.II was used during the Polish and French campaigns, in North Africa against the British, and on the Eastern Front against the Red Army.
The Panzer II Ausf. D, Ausf. E, Ausf. F and Ausf. L were designed as reconnaissance tanks. Continued development of the reconnaissance tank concept led to the much up-armored Ausf. J, which used the same concept as the Pz. Kpfw.I Ausf. F of the same period and had an experimental designation VK1601. This version had heavier armour, with protection brought up to 80mm on the front and 50mm on the sides and rear. With 25mm roof and floor plates, the Pz. Kpfw. II Ausf. J had a total weight of 18 tons. It was equipped with the same Maybach HL45P as the Pz. Kpfw.I Ausf. F, and its top speed was reduced to 31 km/h. Primary armament was the 2cm KwK38 L/55 gun.
22 of these tanks were produced between April and December 1942, and seven were issued to the 12th Panzer Division on the Eastern Front.

The Pz.Kpfw. 38(t) light tank was developed before the beginning of World War II. The initial design belonged to Czech engineers, but after the German occupation of Czechoslovakia the tank was included in the German combat arsenal.
Being a pre-war designed tank, the Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) had common features of the tanks from that period, such as riveted armour and a rear engine. Still some changes were made by the Germans, with increased armour thickness and a loader position added to the turret being the main ones.
The tank saw active service during the military incursion into Poland, France and the Soviet Union, but it became obsolete in 1942 for it no longer proved effective on the battlefield. However, the Pz.Kpfw. 38(t) served as a prototype for the Marder III and partly for the Jagdpanzer 38 tank destroyers.
The Pz.BfWg 38(t) was a command tank also originated from Czechoslovakia and used by the German Army during World War II. It was equipped with a radio station and a frame antenna. The total of 300 Pz.BfWg's were produced.

About 12 vehicles were made prior to Anschluss (incorporation of Austria into Nazi Germany, March 1938). After the Anschluss production continued. A total of 140 units were built with the new designation RK-7 (Räder-Kettenfahrgestell), although Wehrmacht called them Sd. Kfz. 254. The vehicle had a wheel/track layout and a diesel motor. The wheels were lowered when it was used on roads and retracted for cross-country movement. Some Sd.

Following the success of the 15cm Sturm-Infanteriegeschutz 33 in Stalingrad, Panzer IV chassis was used to develop the next Sturmpanzer, an armoured infantry support gun. Production started in May 1943 and continued until March 1945. Allied intelligence called this tank Brummbar ("Grouch"), but the Germans didn't use this name. The Brummbär was used in the Battles of Kursk, Anzio, Normandy, and Warsaw Uprising. Overall around 300 vehicles were built.
The Sturmpanzer IV had the StuH 43 L/12 gun which could fire both high explosive and shaped charge rounds. However, the high gross weight and massive armoured structure overloaded the Panzer IV chassis. It made the entire vehicle overweight and inclined to front. The tank was underpowered and suffered from transmission failures.
The Sturmpanzer IV had many variations. The tank's superstructure and the StuH 43 gun were successively modified to fix the flaws based on frontline reports and comments.

The Sturmpanzer IV had the StuH 43 L/12 gun which could fire both high explosive and shaped charge rounds. However, the high gross weight and massive armoured structure overloaded the Panzer IV chassis. It made the entire vehicle overweight and inclined to front. The tank was underpowered and suffered from transmission failures.
The Sturmpanzer IV had many variations. The tank's superstructure and the StuH 43 gun were successively modified to fix the flaws based on frontline reports and comments.

The German VK1602 Leopard was designed in 1942 as a reconnaissance tank based on the Pz. Kpfw. II Ausf. J (VK 1601). It was planned to finish the first prototype by the 1st of September 1942, and the serial production was scheduled for April 1943. However, the project was abandoned when the first prototype was still incomplete. The reason for cancellation was that the tank's gun, the 50 mm L/60, was insufficient to fight against modern Soviet and Western tanks, which made the vehicle vulnerable. Moreover, the Leopard had a very high weight (21900 kg). The fact that the Leopard was similar to the Panther meant that a reconnaissance Panther could be developed and produced at lower cost.

The Volkettenfahrzeuge 4502 (Porsche) Ausf. B, or VK4502 (P) Ausf. B, was an experimental German heavy tank designed by Porsche in 1942. It was based on the previous VK4501(P) design. Initially it was proposed that the chassis design for the VK4502 (P) could be adopted from the VK4501 (P) with minimum modifications. The tank was supposed to have a maximum speed of 35 km/h and weigh around 45 tonnes. The turret for the VK4502 was also designed by Porsche.
In 1942, a production contract for 100 VK4502 armour shells and 100 turrets was given to Fried Kruppe AG Essen. Kruppe planned to begin the production after completing 100 VK4501 hulls. Later Krupp was asked to complete only 30 Type 180 hulls. However, the project took a serious setback when the Porsche's 101/3 engine failed during the testing.
The contracts for the VK4502 hulls and turrets were terminated. By January 1943, Krupp had already manufactured 20 armour turret bodies for the VK4502 and around 40 to 50 were under construction at the time of cancellation. Krupp then got the permission to assemble three operational turrets for the VK4502. Porsche confirmed that three Tiger P2 VK4502 with electric drives were being completed at the Nibelungwerk. New vehicles were supposed to feature new hydraulic drives, a new suspension system and an air-cooled diesel engine. However, nothing more was heard about the fate of the VK4502 until April 1944 when Krupp reported that one of the turrets was completed and the other two were close to completion. In August 1944 the remaining turrets were converted for use on the Henschel chassis.

The Panzer I Ausf. C had nothing in common with either Ausf. A or B except for the name. It was designed by Krauss-Maffei and Daimler-Benz in 1939 to serve as an armed reconnaissance light tank. The Panzer I Ausf. C had a completely new chassis and turret, a modern torsion-bar suspension and five interleaved roadwheels. The Ausf. C's maximum armour thickness of 30mm (1.18 in) was over twice as much as that of the Ausf. A or B. Overall forty Ausf. C's were produced, along with six prototypes. Two tanks were deployed to the 1st Panzer Division in 1943, and the other thirty-eight were used by the LVIII Panzer Reserve Corps during the Normandy landings.
