HtK46-Denmark's first armoured car. 1917.
Permalink   

While Denmark remained neutral during WWI, they were still investigating in AFVs, after veiwing of those in combat south of the homeland. This wasn't actually an army vehicle, but a semi-improvized armoured car made by the Skyttekorps (militia). It was based on the Hotchkiss M1909. Only one was ever built. After being damaged in 1920, in a crash, it was de-commisioned three years later.

Ah, right I see. Yes, thankyou Ivan. The source I had said the chassis was built on the Hotchkiss M1909, which confused me a bit, since that's a machine gun, but what it probalbly ment was, that there was one of those mounted/fixed onto the chassis.  Thanks.

P.S Don't worry about your English, its absolutely fine.

Hotchkiss also manufactured cars or at least assembled them from components I dont know to what extent the cars were in house, there is a car sometimes referred to as the Hotchkiss M1909..
