Foto galleri på en Panzer I Ausf.A, Le Panzer I er en tysk let tank, designet i 1930'erne og brugt under den spanske krig og begyndelsen af Anden Verdenskrig. Det var den første panzer realiseret, da Tyskland, efter Versailles-traktaten, havde forbudt at studere eller bygge pansrede køretøjer, således at den første betegnelse anvendes til det at sløre sporene, var godt uskadelig, Landwirtschaftlicher Schlepper, eller landbrugstraktor, men senere modtog en mere officiel en Panzerkampfwagen I (pansret kampkøretøj I). Det er også kendt som Sonderkraftfahrzeug 101 (forkortelse for SdKfz 101) bogstaveligt talt speciel motorkøretøj.

General Characteristics
The Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf. A was the first German tank to enter mass production, originally intended purely as a training tank to introduce the concept of armored warfare and for industrial experience. It was lightly armed and armored, but formed a large part of Germany’s early tank forces, seeing combat in the Spanish Civil War and the early stages of World War II.

Powerplant and Mobility
- Engine: Krupp M 305 four-cylinder, horizontally opposed, air-cooled gasoline engine.
- Engine Power: Approximately 44 kW (59 hp / 60 PS) at 2,500 rpm.
- Power/Weight Ratio: Approximately 8.1 kW/tonne (11.1 PS/t).
- Transmission: ZF Aphon FG35 manual, five forward gears and one reverse.
- Maximum Speed (Road): 50 km/h (31 mph).
- Operational Range (Road): Approximately 200 km (120 mi).
- Suspension: Simple leaf quarter-elliptic springs, which contributed to pitching at high speeds (a flaw corrected in the Ausf. B).
Armament and Armor
- Main Armament: Two 7.92 mm MG 13 machine guns mounted in a small, hand-traversed turret.
- Ammunition: The machine guns were intended for anti-infantry use, as they were largely ineffective against contemporary tank armor.
- Maximum Armor Thickness: 13 mm (0.51 in) (Front, Sides, Rear, Turret).
- Minimum Armor Thickness: 6 mm to 8 mm (Top/Bottom).
- Armor Composition: Rolled steel plate, thin enough that the Panzer I was vulnerable to almost all contemporary anti-tank weapons and even heavy machine guns.
