The A7V was the first tank that Germany ever produced. Weighing 32 tonnes, and with a crew of 18 men - it was almost the size of a small house - and was nicknamed by the British the ‘moving fortress’...

The only surviving example of a First World War German A7V tank is ‘Mephisto’ - and we were incredibly lucky to work with our friends at the Queensland Museum Kurilpa to feature this unique survivor, helping tell the story of the very first tank‑on‑tank duel in our most recent YouTube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdlH_FDcDOI | The Tank Museum
