When one thinks of German tanks of the Second World War, the mind might immediately envision vehicles such as the infamous Tiger, or maybe even the Panther or Panzer IV. However, as many of you may already know, there were many more tanks developed and produced by the Germans during the war. Today we will be taking a look at one of the older production model tanks of the German Army, in the form of the Panzer I.
Thanks to lord captain teapot for writing the script for this video.

Okay relatively speaking this is one of the most hilariously cursed tanks I have ever seen.
@Oliver Viehland The BRZ is essentially the same thing with a bit more horsepower and RSDs are standard. Different folks different strokes.
You cant deny its effectiveness, especially on early wars and on towns, where resistance people didnt have that much firepower.
You haven’t seen the hen and chick tank
@@reedman0780 behold this example of superior German engineering
@@8dgh0 please elaborate i’m looking for it now
EDIT: oh my god its modular
Feed it enough spare parts, and petrol and eventually it will grow into a Tiger. Just don't overfeed it after midnight or you'll get a Maus.
It will become the Ratte once the supply runs out
I love these "compact heavy tanks"! They are so fucking cute. I get the same feeling looking at these as i get when i see a puppy
Yeah I would pet it but it'd shoot me
Imagine the chaos it might bring if it ever got produced. Suddenly every German tank really becomes a Tiger.

Suddenly every German tank breaks down before being able to enter combat.

7:26 I've been there in Belgrade, it's great, there are many more similiar-sized early war tanks, and the whole exhibit is just outside, totally free.
I believe that is where the mystery Sdkfz 250 is, the one with the Pak 38 and welded roof.

If you want to see late war and cold war tanks, come to Poland to Warsaw to fort "Czerniaków". Outside exibition is free, however inside exibition is paid, but it's cheap. You can see there an IS-3, IS-2, ISU-152, T-55 and more standing outside. TKS and more smaller things inside. They have workshop and a lot of trucks waiting for renovation behind the fence at closed part. Once I saw there an armored car made on Willys frame, but they were preparing it to export. You can check other places too like museum of the Polish army in Warsaw or armored weapons museum in Poznań.
I was there too ,i have multiple photos from this panzer
I'm still holding strong that he'll eventually do:
"The German M-10 Wolvorine Wannabee, the Ersatz Panther | Cursed by Design"
There isn't really a video to make though. It's just a panther with some visual modifications and the muzzle brake removed.
@@Kyle-gw6qp And so is the tank he just talked about in this video, it's just a Panzer 1 with more armor and modified suspension
@@anm10wolvorinenotapanther32 Well yes. The modifications actually change the characteristics of the tank. The only thing that's different in the Erzatz Panther's characteristics is that the gun doesn't work.
@@Kyle-gw6qp Very good points you are making there I must say, the changes are much more than just a malfunctioning gun(obviously) but I suppose the history around the Ersatz Panther is just too limited to justify an entire episode for it. Still hoping for it tho and in the mean time I still have Meme Tanks 1
@@anm10wolvorinenotapanther32 The changes were purely cosmetic. The only non cosmetic change was the useless gun.
As breakthrough tanks they were designed from the outset to engage infantry and deployed artillery forces rather than other tanks.
In their use against partisans they did exactly that, and as you say performed admirably.
It was rather when deployed in operations against enemy armour and heavy anti-tank fortifications that they failed, as expected as they weren't designed for such work.
Question : Considering it have 80mm armor as it stated almost same like the kv2 did it failed Cause of lack protection againt enemy fire or because it cannot shoot back cause of lack anti tank cannon ?
@@uthopia27 mostly the latter probably. Soviet tanks could just ignore them and then shoot them in the rear where the armour is a lot less substantial.
but what was the huge up armor good for then? only against AT guns? i mean sure the old armor was way too thin but 20mm wouldve been enough id think against infantry. seems just like lots of weight added that doesnt really improve performance a lot
@@Obelion_ 37mm was the standard AT gun at the time, and needed that armour to defeat.
Plus it'd probably also help against rifle grenades and shrapnel from mortar bombs, maybe even anti-tank rifles.
Remember that the original Pz.II was designed around the limitations of the Versaille treaty, and seriously underarmoured as a result.
This ultimate version corrected that, but at the cost of being seriously underpowered (the small size meant no bigger engine could be mounted).
@@Obelion_ 80mm was for blocking anti tank rifles, mines, 45mm cannons, artillery shells, and a variety of other weapons. It is in the game Gates of Hell, and it is very nice having a tank that infantry and light cannons have no chance of killing without getting close up with moltovs/satchel charges
VK stands for "Versuchskonstruktion" which means Prototype or literally "Trial - Construction"
I'm too lazy to check, but this makes a lot more sense !
That’s correct! I put the wrong word in without realising, sorry about that!
Research my friend
Sry experimental construction but any ways we got to samepoint
Cool
The intro is kind of a banger
I like it, all but the "all designed to kill" bit seems a bit silly and redundant
@@gaiamission7200 I guess, but he's technically correct
Learning the history of various tanks is oddly satisfying! I love it, things that could've completely changed the tides of ear but didn't. Makes for a lot of story ideas!
I'm always listening to the audio books of like German tank commanders and soldiers of Germany, from WWII. There really interesting. Try listening to them sometime.
@@NS-gy3jr it's german translates to English. With the narrator retaining a german accent. Sorry it took so long to reply lol
Seriously though, this could have been quite effective. Most contemporary tanks couldn't do crap against it, and vice versa, but it had machine guns and could theoretically have been a moving bunker, providing cover for infantry.
2:08 isn't a Leichtraktor prototype, it's a Spanish Verdeja Mk1 tank prototype. Also it's a good contender for a future episode.
Based on the Vickers E/T-26?
I noticed that too. It's definitely a photo from the post-Spanish Civil War.
@@teslashark No, he's talking about the tank on the left
@@tiagobarassi6758 Shocking how these people didn’t see 50% of the fucking photo innit?

I've been in Kubinka tank museum, but never actually noticed this tank. Cool! One more reason to visit museum again!
I visited those few tanks on display in Belgrade few times and I did not know what the hell was that thing when I was young. Then I researched it like a year ago and though "man, it would be cool if someone made a video about this thing" and here you are. XD
Bdw there is this cursed attempt to produce modernized T-34-85 on display there too called A1, if anyone is interested in such things I suggest checking it out.

That would make a perfect personal tank to have.
The crews of these things loved them for their resistance to landmines. And they were effective as infantry support vehicles against enemy infantry, especially enemy troops that was dug in and supported by their own light tanks (assigning obsolescent, less capable vehicle designs, past their prime in frontline usefulness, to infantry-heavy formations, was common practice in the Red Army during the war. Waste not, want not.). This is why they were so good at anti-partisan duties. Certainly better in some aspects than the early war vehicles policing units were usually saddled with.
I don't think that this vehicle was "cursed" by any definition of the word. It, like the excellent Luchs, fell victim to adapting priorities to the slowly deteriorating war situation. The Reich needed more fighting vehicles that could combat enemy armor, carry artillery pieces, and defend against attack aircraft (the last especially important in Western Europe). With limited resources, niche AFVs, even useful ones, got the axe. Which is a shame, since the "Baby Tiger" is an interesting and cool little beast.
Hello from Belgrade. This little tank was so Tiger-like that Partisans were reporting that they were attacked by Tigers (never served in Serbia) and even after the war, there is a list of captured tanks including - a Tiger?! Yes, it was the one from your video.
min 2:10 that's the Spanish prototype Verdeja tank on the left not the Leichttraktor(you can see on the right a T-26), the shape is similar
I like the idea that you talk about little known tanks and projects, it is something really interesting
Can you please do a follow up video on the Pz. II J?
Yes, Pz II J is my fav tank (at the moment). I just built a model of it for a diorama during Russian campaign. I thought Pz. II J was baby tiger... I guess both of these were.
@@nessie9709 nope he mentioned it invideo
@@nessie9709 yes. I believe 12 Panzer IIJs were sent to the Eastern Front with the 12th Panzer Division. They eventually went the same route as the Panzer 1Fs and used for partisan duty. One thing the vid didn't emphasize is that all that extra armor nelegated there speed so that hurt their recon role.
@@panzer948 I think the Pz II J is called the "luchs" (lynx)
@@henryrodgers7386 Luchs is Pz. II L my friend. It was the last evolution, had similiar suspension but less armor than Ausf. J

Yet another great video Cone, keep the good work up!
Simple corrections: Breakthrough tank, mentioned since 1935 which bear fruits, most notably the Tiger I. Pz I main models, twin MG 13 and not MG 34.
The original Pz. Is used MG18s. This design may very well have used MG34s as it was both a newer design built from scratch and MG18s weren’t made anymore.
Cursed indeed and I'm surprised I have never heard about this machine. Good find ConeofArc!!
Starting to think you like the same cursed tanks as I do, and it gives me joy.
Keep up the good work!!!
Cool video! Keep up the good work Cone!
Thank you so much for producing this long needed video on this, in my humble opinion, unrated, outstanding early breakthrough infantry tank.
This has long been my absolute favorite tank conceived and manufactured during the Second World War.
In hindsight of course, it was dead-end as far as utilizing the Panzer 1 as a viable combat design, but if they had worked on up-gunning the Ausf. F and replaced the two MG34’s with a 2cm auto-cannon (...or twin auto-cannons) if a turret modification(s) were possible given the existing turret ring, it would’ve seen more success.
Nobody can argue the Ausf. F was deadly little beast that, given the fact they produced only 30, performed good service statistically, but was swallowed up by the slaughter that was the Eastern Front Offensive.
Thanks again for making my day for highlighting this tank. You don’t know how many tank publications seem to go out of there way to ignore this tank when talking about the Panzer 1 and the details of it’s development and operational life.
Very interesting, it seems like they had a similar intended role to something like the British Valentine.
i love seeing these things zooming in world of tanks
The Germans actually worked on a prototype that was armed with a 50mm cannon and had sloped Armour sort of a baby panther based on this tank.
That bit at the end (08:16) has compelled me to order some merch.
I had no idea that the image was so large; thus, it was a cool surprise to see the actual garment.

Wait what? Panzer 1 f is in Belgrade, bro I'm from there, but I never saw it there lol. Well I'm going on holiday there in 2-3 days so I'll be on the lookout for it
It’s been 3 days, did you go there? How was it?
How was it?
I can see why it would be a handy tank in certain situations. Nice video!
Wow, I didn’t even know there was an F version. Thanks for making and sharing this 👍
oh I'll check out your sponsor. This is a great idea. I subbed to his channel and will comment about seeing him in your video
Just wait till the pz1F is added to warthunder as a premium event vehicle
It won't be, as its only armament is double MG34. Panzer II J however, that could do.
How did I miss this I was in Belgrade I looked at every tank ... oh well gotta go back some day ...
6:48 a candid wehrmacht "don't ask, don't tell" moment.
There’s a surprising nice model kit of this tank in the common 1/35 scale from Eastern Europe under the brand “Alan” as well as possibly others since the moulds get traded around. It is a tiny vehicle.
I remember watching this at release but only now am I amazed that even a few models of this tank still exist. That is akin to a miracle considering everything and the lack of other more prevalent tanks. Seriously, I want to travel just to see these tanks now.
Could you investigate Luftwaffe's airborne tank designs? As I remember they developed Panzer I with added AT-capabilities in form of K-bullets (or possibly with 13mm or 15mm mg can't remember) to land them inside gliders.
That museum is in the same state as me! It is really awesome!
Honestly I think they should have built more of these in lieu of armored cars for the reasons you specified. Perhaps retrofitted earlier Panzer I's. They would have taken the pressure off of Mainline tanks for tasks they weren't designed for.
earlier panzer Is had the wrong suspension type. it would likely cost less to just make new tanks.
Great video! I learned something!
The concept of compact heavy tanks sounds so interesting to me
Ugh it hurts to look at but I love it so much
That's what my girlfriend said last night.
2:08 spanish tank verdeja I during trials agaisnt a T-26, the verdeja was bastly superior, the turret was based in the Pz I housing a 45mm and x2 MG-13 coaxial with 65º degree of elevation
Yay! My Favorite Tank!! Thanks!
Yay an episode for the broken babytiger on tier 3
Love that little thing, just imagine it with the luchs turret , it would look awesome ! engine should much more power though
Design wise it's reminiscent of something you'd see a police department riot/swat team using today. For wartime usage it was practically worthless in it's intended role but as a specialized police vehicle I imagine it would have been popular
Love to see some history on the similarly equipped Panzer IIJ? I think they made even less of those. I wonder if Pz IIJ had more armor than Pz 1F?
Excellent, excellent video.
Such a surprising amount of armor on such a small vehicle.
Great video. As a future video idea, how about doing a video on the Canadian Ram cruiser tank?
Verdeja spotted at @2:08 alongside a T-26 at it's right. Would put more details but, being CZcams as it is, i'll omit them.
very interesting finding .... many thought that Tiger1 had a revolutionary design with no similar previous designs in the back but this video shows that many features was actually designed and tested before
when I saw driver scope protection on this tank I said ... well this must be borrowed from Tiger1 but it revealed that tiger1 was borrowing from this lol
The Panzer II Ausf. J really is just the Panzer I Ausf. F's bigger, more heavily armed brother, isn't it?
This is professional level production
That 'Tiger Cub' derives from the same set of requirements that resulted in the Mk.I Matilda, the Americans also toyed with a similar concept, heavy armor, but only a single (fixed) machine gun as the main armament. At least the British and German iterations used rotating turrets.
Hello
Love your vids
"mine resistant", "kv1 frontal armor", "cheap and tiny", "only 2 crew needed".
This sounds like an amazing tank to fight infantry.
Imagine the horror on a soldiers face when they see a 50mm at gun round bounce off a panzer 1.
8:10 you had the perfect opportunity to say it was a paper Tiger
A pleasant surprise as always
I have personally visited the surviving example in Belgrade. My first impression was that the thing looked cartoonishly thick for how small it was.
This was one of my favorite german tanks. Its so small and cute and i juts love it
02:08 Glorious Verdeja Tank spotted
Never heard of a CZcams channel sponsoring another CZcams channel
hey can you do a cursed by design video talking about the nahuel dl 43, its a really cool tank
i wonder how successful it would have been if it had an externally mounted recoilless rifle/s. like a ww2 tiger-ontos. i know german ww2 recoiless rifles had their issues but it is still an interesting thought experiment.
Thank you for your video mate for some reason iv got a thing for tank tracks! Iv just got a BMW mini one in grey and it looks very German and thank like.
ITS JUST A LARGER L3 33 CC OMG I LOVE IT
This is one of my favourite tasks on world of tanks,just a fun tank on the game
From what I know, the designation "VK" is not Vollketten-Kraftfahrzeug, meaning fully tracked vehicle, but instead "Versuchskonstruktion" meaning Test Construction, or rather Test Vehicle in this regard. So the VK 18.01 designation would be Test Vehicle and the 18.01 is the planned weight of the vehicle, not the weight for the final vehicle. Sometimes there would be an additional letter in parentheses indicating the manufacturer : H=Hentschel, P=Porsche, DB=Daimler-Benz, M=MAN.
that's right.. VK stands for "Versuchskonstruktion" and not "Vollketten-Kraftfahrzeug". Where do people get this?
@@soldatnr444 I think its a common misconception and probably the first results that pops up in searches.
You’re correct on that, I put in the wrong word and didn’t realise it before submitting the script to him. That one’s on me, sorry about that!
@@lordcaptainteapot6143 No worries ! Stuff happens :)
So cool!
Cool, thank you!
Imagine what chaos this smol kitty could have wreaked in WW1.
Wasn't the Pz II - J another evolution in the same manner with similarly thick frontal armour... Before the tiger 1?
The Russian designers must've rolled on the ground laughing, since they considered firepower per ton a critical metric in the later stages of the war. Their heavy tanks always were lighter and using bigger guns than their closest German counterparts. The idea of up-armouring a basically tankette to 19 tons without improving its firepower must've appeared truly strange to them... I mean, it was.
The true Baby Tigor
5:12 VK is short for Versuchskonstruktion, literally translated meaning attempt construction, but it basicly can be translated to prototype.
thanks for correcting his big mistake
why so much people think VK stand for "Vollketten"?
VK = Versuchskonstruktion
Nothing else, and most player in WoT & WT aren`t right
The first tank that comes to mind when i think WWII german tanks, is the Panzer II
I actually built 2 model-kits of these with a vk.36.01(h) and they look pretty good together
Good for you.
your intro is so good
I have to admit, the Panzer II (all models) is my favorite of the Panzers... the Panzer I? It was made for a different war/tactics where armored cars and mobile machine guns were the main opponents on the battlefield.
No mention that the original PZ I was designed primarily as a training vehicle ? It was pressed into combat service because it was available.
i would also like to see a video on a similar design from ww2 which is the VK 36.01
Basically the same concept as the British Matilda I tank - a heavily armoured, mobile machine gun emplacement for supporting the infantry.
That intro always gives me chills
Even towing a cannon trailer could have added something to that tank in some scenarios.
Ooooo channel sponsoring fellow channel.. Thats new and intresting..
I did read somewhere that the "VK" in German tanks stood for "Versuchskonstruktion" = "Training/Experimental Model"
You should do a video on the t55m8a2 that had a 125mm smoothbore
