Daimler MarienWagen
Daimler MarienWagen
In some ways the monstrous MarienWagen Gepanzert was the German’s first tank, or rather, their reaction to seeing large English and French tanks on the battlefield at The Somme. They had two machine guns and two 20mm cannons. This monstrosity was built by Daimler. It was operated by six to ten people and fairly lightly armored, but enough to stop the .30 cal rounds flying out of English and American machine guns and other small arms.
