Description	Le char Panzer VI – Tiger I

Le Tiger I (Tigre), diminutif de Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausführung E – Sonderkraftfahrzeug 181, char d’assaut lourd allemand en service de 1942 à 1945, est l’un des chars les plus connus de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, bien qu’il n’ait été que peu produit par rapport au T-34 soviétique ou au Sherman américain. Ce sont ses dimensions, ses lignes très carrées, sa résistance au combat, sa puissance ainsi que les équipages expérimentés l’ayant mené au feu qui ont marqué les esprits, notamment du fait de la propagande allemande. Son développement a commencé en 1937 et, quand il apparaît pour la première fois sur le front, le 29 août 1942, près de Léningrad, le Tigre I est le char techniquement le plus avancé, le mieux protégé et le plus puissant aligné par l’Axe, affichant une mobilité limitée mais exceptionnelle pour un engin qui fait plus de deux fois le poids de ses prédécesseurs et de la majorité de ses adversaires chenillés. Mais le char lourd, outre de sa production faible, a pâti tout au long de sa carrière de sa mécanique très fragile réduisant considérablement sa disponibilité au feu, et qui, avec sa faible autonomie et son poids excessif, compliquait sa mise en œuvre opérationnelle. Construit à seulement 1 350 exemplaires, il n’a été que rarement endivisionné mais plutôt engagé dans des unités indépendantes.

Description	Japanese tanks during the Second World War

The Type 95 Ha-G light tank (Japanese 九式軽戦車, Kyugoshiki keisensha Ha-G?), also known as Type 97 Ke-Go, was a light tank used by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II. Although he was very slow for a light tank, he demonstrated his qualities against enemy infantry during the campaigns in Manchuria and China, in the sense that the Chinese National Revolutionary Army had very few armoured vehicles or anti-tank weapons to deal with them. However, The Type 95 still lacked the armour and armament of contemporary Allied tanks, and it was already considered obsolete at the beginning of the Second World War. More than 2000 units of this tank were nevertheless produced1. The Type 95 Ha-G tank was also used by Imperial Japanese Navy marine detachments in the Pacific during the Second World War.

Type	Light vehicle

Photo gallery on a VW 82 Kobelwagen, The VW 82 Kobelwagen (« voiture bassine ») est un véhicule léger militaire allemand conçu par Ferdinand Porsche avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elle possède une carrosserie ouverte simplifiée montée sur le châssis et dotée des éléments mécaniques de la voiture appelée alors KdF-Wagen, devenue plus tard la Coccinelle. Pour améliorer ses capacités tous terrains, des réducteurs sont installés au niveau des roues, augmentant la garde au sol et le couple de traction. Elle est également équipée d’un différentiel de la société ZF (Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen) autobloquant à galets pour augmenter les capacités de franchissement en terrain glissant. Par sa légèreté et son différentiel autobloquant, la VW 82 4×2 (4 wheels including 2-wheel drive) was better than the much heavier MB or GPW 4X4 "jeep" with no lockable differentials that bring it back to a 4×2 when the two wheels on the same side skate. Designed as a troop transport vehicle, it was agile, reliable and easy to produce. The German army used 55,000 copies during the Second World War.
