Listen Later

In this episode, we dive into the battlefield debut of the A7V—the German Empire’s only tank of the First World War. From its limited deployment to its infamous duel with British Mark IVs at Villers-Bretonneux, we unpack the world’s first tank-on-tank battle. We explore crew experiences inside the A7V, its tactical limitations, and the legacy it left behind. This is the dramatic—and often overlooked—final chapter of Germany’s first step into armored warfare.
