Leichter Kampfwagen

Leichter Kampfwagen refers to Germany’s late First World War light-tank development, particularly the LK I and LK II. These projects explored a smaller alternative to the heavy A7V, using automotive components and layouts that changed between versions. They did not equip a German combat force before the armistice. LK I and LK II differed in layout and intended armament, although both reflected a move away from Germany’s heavy A7V. The war ended before the planned light-tank force could be fielded. These projects reveal Germany’s interest in a more mobile and economical armored force. Their limited wartime development contrasted with the mass production already being pursued by the Allied powers.
