Although all the photos are already known, thanks for posting them here! To me it's still the coolest tank ever ...

Have I looked at the photos for a long time again:

So when I look at the photos like this, the A7V Hedi does not give the impression of a hasty (improvised) construction, it is a well thought out construction. For whatever this was intended in World War I, Nachrichtenwagen?

Looks in some respects, a better design than the original female A7V.

Thanks for your thoughts. And yes, I do not believe either. Close examination of vehicles from the same period, i.e. the Strv m 21-29, contribute a lot to the understandig of contemporary manufacturing technology. The two "Nachrichtenwagen"  suggest that they are two fine examples of late war or even inter war engineering.

Have a look at some details:

The design feature of the louvres on Hedi's upper side can also be found to the LK II.

 

The same applies to the driver and commander domes. A feature that was planned for the "Oberschlesien Wagen".

 

Regards,

Peter

More refined than necessary. Someone spent a lot of time, material and effort to create two sophisticated vehicles - so much time that they never became ready... A very special way of avoiding service in the field.

Hmmm, it seems the misery of German tanks had always been their elaborate design ...

My Impression is that these tanks were supposed to be the female versions (very developed versions) of the A7V male tanks. But I could eb worng.
