A7V-U = ?
Permalink   


I have seen it suggested that the "U" in "A7V-U" stood for "umlaufende Fahrwerk" rather than "umlaufende Ketten." Come to that, was it the A7V-U, A7V/U, or A7VU (or u)? Haven't been able to find any original German documents that clarify this. A native German speaker would be in an ideal position to comment.

It was A7V-U, and it meant 'A7V mit umlaufender Kette'.

Thank you, MZ. The A7V article on Wikipedia.de must be wrong. I am more inclined to believe you than them.
