Think Tank - The Pz.Kpfw. II Light Tank
This Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf. b is seen in France, 1940; note the old suspension, and the extra stowage on the mudguards. Later models had stowage bins to carry extra equipment. This small-wheel suspension reduced cross-country mobility due to limited wheel travel.
In January 1934, the German weapons directorate ordered the development of a second light tank, to be armed with a 7.92mm MG and a 2cm automatic cannon. The first light tank was to be limited to two 7.92 MG 34s, and would become the Pz.Kpfw. I.
