Intended only as a training tank to introduce the concept of armored warfare to the German Army, the Panzer I saw combat in Spain during the Spanish Civil War, in Poland, France, the Soviet Union and North Africa during the Second World War, and in China during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Experiences with the Panzer I during the Spanish Civil War helped shape the German armored corps' invasion of Poland in 1939 and France in 1940. By 1941, the Panzer I chassis design was used as the basis of tank destroyers and assault guns. It continued to serve in the Spanish Armed Forces until 1954. The Panzer I's performance in combat was limited by its thin armor and light armament of two machine guns. As a design intended for training, the Panzer I was not as capable as other light tanks of the era, such as the Soviet T-26. Although weak in combat, it formed a large part of Germany's tank forces and was used in all major campaigns between September 1939 and December 1941. The small, vulnerable light tank would be surpassed in importance by better-known German tanks, such as the Panzer IV, Panther, and Tiger; nevertheless, the Panzer I's contribution to the early victories of Nazi Germany during the Second World War was significant. Later in that war the turrets of the then obsolete PzKpfw Is and PzKpfw IIs were repurposed as gun turrets on specially built defensive bunkers. DESIGN The Panzer I's design history can be traced to 1932's Landwirtschaftlicher Schlepper La S(Agricultural Tractor) armored fighting vehicle. The La S was intended not just to train Germany's panzer troops, but to prepare Germany's industry for the mass production of tanks in the near future. In July 1932, Krupp revealed a prototype of the Landswerk Krupp A, with a sloped front glacis plate and large central casemate, a design heavily influenced by the British Carden Loyd tankette. The tank was armed with two obsolescent 7.92-millimeter MG-13 Dreyse machine guns. Machine guns were known to be largely useless against even the lightest tank armor of the time, restricting the Panzer I to a training and anti-infantry role by design. Page 1 HISTORY The Ausf. A was under-armored, with steel plate of only 13 millimeters at its thickest. The tank had several design flaws, including suspension problems, which made the vehicle pitch at high velocities, and engine overheating. Many of the problems in the Ausf. A were corrected with the introduction of the Ausf. B. The engine was replaced by the water-cooled, six-cylinder Maybach NL 38 TR, developing 98 horsepower, and the gearbox was changed to a more reliable model. The larger engine required the extension of the vehicle's chassis by 40 cm (16 in), and this allowed the improvement of the tank's suspension, adding another bogie wheel and raising the tensioner. The tank's weight increased by 0.4 tons. ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION One of the main differences between the major modifications Pz.Kpfw.I was the powerplant. Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.A was equipped with the horizontally opposed 4-cylinder carbureted and air-cooled engine “Krupp” M305. Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.B was equipped with the inline 6-cylinder carbureted liquid-cooled engine “Maybach” NL 38. The transmission consisted of: Reducer, placed directly on the engine Shaft, passing through the crew compartment Twin disk clutch 5 speed gearbox “Aphon-Getriebe FG35” with synchronizer Transfer box for clutch steering and belt/band brakes MODIFICATIONS In 1938 in Spain attempts have been made in order to improve the Panzer I capabilities. There is just one picture in where it is possible to see a Pz. I ausf. A mounting a 20mm BredaModel 35, a short-range anti-aircraft gun. “Thanks Wikipedia” Page 2 GARRY’S MOD REPLICA Garry’s mod Replica I developed this tank to feature similar performance to the real vehicle, based on the data found online. Irregularities on the replicas emerge naturally from this kind of work, especially on such rare vehicles, I did not found any precise values and pictures of such vehicles. MOVEMENT This tank is powered with ACF motors. In is highlighted the 1.4l B4 engine, which provides a very similar power output as the real Krupp engine. This version of the tank has been produced not for much, since the newer Meteor 6 cylinder engine provided much more power and less noise. Note the double muffler on each side of the tank, the meteor variant had a single muffler at the rear. In blue is highlighted the main gearbox: in this case the new stock-ACF automatic 5-speed. This will provide the necessary gear ratios to accelerate, climb and reach higher velocities. Yes, using this tank you are not needed to shift a very stiff lever nor even press a very soft button: it’s automatic. The gearbox presents a very short tranny in order to help the tank get turning from a full stop: this is needed because the engine is very weak. Thin tracks has been simulated with the less draggy rubber physical propriety on wheels. In green there is the dual clutch transfer assembly which enables the steering of the vehicle via clutch-and- brake. As can be noted the tracks are driven by the front sprocket, losing it will result in the inability to throttle, steer and brake. Fuel is not held on this tank since I wanted to reserve the “weakness” of the engine. Page 3 GARRY’S MOD REPLICA LAYOUT The layout follows generally the real tank’s, except for the single command position and the driver seat that is not flat on the floor (and neither is a seat, damned ACF): this is because many ACF servers do not accept standard Garry’s Mod seats as valid for tanks, requiring you to use the much larger ACF Pilot seat or Pod. The image here is presenting the hull’s top view. The ammunition storage is not very big and houses only machinegun AP rounds. It has been proven than the detonation of those munitions many times leaves the tank operational. ARMOR The panzer I’s armor was changed a lot during it’s development, from a maximum of 13mm to much higher values. The reported weight of the tank has been lowered, since this mounts the smaller Krupp engine and thus is a little shorter, missing the rear sprocket. The tank spots a very strong frontal armor, which has been boosted way over 13mm, else it would have been unplayable. Beware the lower glacis, which is still very weak. The side armor is honestly not of much use, since in Garry’s Mod tank encounters are usually at a few meters, the 20mm Breda machine gun mounted on this turret will easily do much damage and tear the tank apart from its sides. The rear armor is even less armored, spotting 10mm effective. Page 4 USAGE Usage DRIVING Control of the vehicle is given by the Wiremod’s Pod Controller : The W key will throttle the engines, making the vehicle move forward, upon releasing W a small breaking force will be noticed. The S key will apply stopping brakes, if both W and S are pressed the engine will spool up with the clutch engaged: this is useful when a greater take off power is needed. The R key will engage the reverse gear and throttle the engines, making the vehicle move backward. The A and D keys will clutch and brake respectively the left and right track transmission. As the real tank’s transmission gearbox this does not allow on place pivoting. GUNNING Upon entering the vehicle, the visual camera will be activated and placed over the turret’s periscope. Moving the mouse will rotate the visual and the turret will slowly rotate to match your target angles. The target can be acquired via the stock game crosshair, which is enabled on this vehicle, except when entering it while holding the camera. By using the MOUSE WHEEL or NEXT/PREVIOUS WEAPON key field of view (zoom) can be adjusted. The machine gun setup is not ideal for armored fights, but can provide a decent tool against transports, infantry and aircrafts. Multiple ammoboxes are used in order to fire 1 tracer every 3 rounds. This simple setup takes advantage of the client-side camera rotation to increase situation awareness, at the cost of fire precision. There is no firing computer as to be expected by such an old vehicle. Page 5 NOTES Notes I decided to share my creations because being able to make good things that not everyone can achieve, just for personal “use” is pointless. I do have like 2000 hours in Garry’s Mod (1500 tracked on steam) and I rarely took my creations to events and servers.

    The Secret School of War: The Soviet-German Tank Academy at Kama THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ian Johnson Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Master's Examination Committee: Jennifer Siegel, Advisor Peter Mansoor David Hoffmann Copyright by Ian Ona Johnson 2012 Abstract This paper explores the period of military cooperation between the Weimar Period German Army (the Reichswehr), and the Soviet Union. Between 1922 and 1933, four facilities were built in Russia by the two governments, where a variety of training and technological exercises were conducted. These facilities were particularly focused on advances in chemical and biological weapons, airplanes and tanks. The most influential of the four facilities was the tank testing and training grounds (Panzertruppenschule in the German) built along the Kama River, near Kazan in North- Central Russia. Led by German instructors, the school’s curriculum was based around lectures, war games, and technological testing. Soviet and German students studied and worked side by side; German officers in fact often wore the Soviet uniform while at the school, to show solidarity with their fellow officers. Among the German alumni of the school were many of the most famous practitioners of mobile warfare during the Second World War, such as Guderian, Manstein, Kleist and Model. This system of education proved highly innovative. During seven years of operation, the school produced a number of extremely important technological and tactical innovations. Among the new technologies were a new tank chassis system, superior guns, and - perhaps most importantly- a radio that could function within a tank.

  • Iabsm Army Lists for Poland for the 1939 September War
    GERMANY IABSM ARMY LISTS FOR POLAND FOR THE 1939 SEPTEMBER WAR FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH IABSM V3 1 Introduction from Richard Clarke’s IABSM v2 Blitzkrieg theatre supplement: After its stumbling start in Poland in 1939, where the growth pains of its rapid expansion from the Army of Versailles were only masked by its numerical superiority over the Poles, the German Army’s belief in its abilities was buoyed up by early successes. It emerged to be undoubtedly the best led and most professional force of the early war. In addition the Germans had also inherited the Prussian tradition of creating well-balanced forces, able to act independently at all levels. Since Hitler’s rise to power in 1933 the emphasis on a “Volk im Waffen”, people under arms, that permeated virtually all aspects of German society had done much to produce a generation both ready and keen for war. The emphasis on developing leadership and military skills in the Nazi youth organisations contributed to make the German Army of this period an efficient machine. Despite its strengths, however, the Wehrmacht was not the unbeatable force that German propaganda would have had us believe. Indeed it was the seizing, and then retention, of the strategic initiative that gave the Germans victory rather than any inherent tactical superiority. At the level we are concerned with the German Army was balanced in structure and with a glut of experienced leaders. The flexible approach to orders and task achievement encouraged these leaders to think for themselves and this paid a high dividend, both in terms of military results and the development of leadership and tactical skills.

  • A Re-Assessment of the German Armaments Production During World War Ii
    113 A RE-ASSESSMENT OF THE GERMAN ARMAMENTS PRODUCTION DURING WORLD WAR II Ioannis-Dionysios Salavrakos 1 University of Athens Abstract The German armaments production during World War II (1939-1945) is a highly debatable issue. Many studies point out that it was a success story since the overall production increased in spite of the heavy Allied air bombing campaign during the period 1943-1945. Others point out that the size of the production could not balance the aggregate production of Britain, USA, and the USSR. This study points out that by the end of 1941 with the entry of the USSR and the US in the war Germany had to plan for two different types of war. One was a land war against the USSR and the second was a naval-air war against the Anglo-Saxon Powers (Britain and the USA). German industry did quite well with the first challenge (with the assistance of captured material and industrial power of occupied Europe) but failed in the naval-air war against the Anglo-Saxon Powers. 1. Introduction The German armaments production during World War II (1939-1945) is a highly debatable issue. The debate is focused on the following issues: The first is the volume of the production. Many economists and historians observe a high volume of production even under the constraint of allied bombing. Others hold the view that the production levels, for the most industrialized European power, were quite low and could not match the combined armaments production of Great Britain and USSR, let alone the considerable production of the United States.

  • Spanish Panzer IV
    Spanish Panzer IV By Catalan 15 January 2008; Revised Category: 20th Century: Military History The end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939 saw a drastic ‘modernization’ of Spain’s armored forces. Of course, the word ‘modernization’ can only be used when comparing Spain’s armor prior to the war with what it was left at the war’s end. Spain purchased her first tank on 19 May 1919 from the French Renault factory. This tank was the French FT-17, designed during the First World War, and the tank represented a fairly important step in the mechanization of the Spanish Army. Despite Spanish interests in acquiring at least another ten vehicles, the French government was unwilling to complete further orders. It wasn’t until the Spanish colonial disaster at the Battle of Annual that the French government finally conceded to the sale of another eleven FT-17s, including one command tank. These twelve tanks served in the Spanish Protectorate of Northern Morocco between 1922 and 1926, partaking in the amphibious landing at Alhucemas in September 1925. When the Spanish Civil War began in July 1936, two small regiments were outfitted with a total of ten FT-17 tanks – both the Republic and the Nationalist uprising were able to gain control of one of these regiments a piece[1]. For all intents and purposes, the Spanish Civil War began with ten obsolete FT-17s and six CA1 Schneider tanks of the same era. The CA1s had been sold by the French government to Spain in the same deal as the FT-17s, and also served during the Rif War in Morocco[2].
