Panzer I Light Tank

The Panzer I was a small German tank originally intended chiefly to develop training and armored-force experience. Armed with machine guns rather than a cannon, it was poorly suited to fighting heavier enemy armor. Nevertheless, production and readiness constraints placed it in combat during the Spanish Civil War and the early campaigns of the Second World War. Its historical importance lies as much in the growth of German armored organizations as in its limited battlefield fighting power.

Its limited armament emphasized the difference between training needs and battlefield requirements. As more capable tanks appeared, some chassis were adapted for other functions rather than continuing indefinitely as front-line gun tanks.
