The Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf A was a German tank that was used in the Second World War. It is the first operational German tank after the First World War.
Because of the Treaty of Versailles Germany wasn't allowed to develop any military vehicles, so it was developed as the Landwirtschaftlicher Schlepper based of the Leichttraktor, and started it's production in 1934, it wasn't a good tank because it had relatively weak armor and light armament, and a total of just over 1560 PzKpfw I tanks were made and saw action until the end of the war, but were mostly used for patrol or training use.

Production of the Ausf. B began in August 1936 and finished in summer 1937 after 399 had been built, it had a new water-cooled, six-cylinder Maybach NL 38 TR and a more reliable gearbox , the new engine required the extension of the vehicle's chassis by 40 cm, and this allowed the improvement of the tank's suspension, adding another bogie wheel.
