About the Munitionsschlepper 1 Ausf. A
Battles of the Eastern front in 1941 had revealed the complete helplessness of light machine-gun tanks in conditions of war with Russia. As commanders of one of the tank groups said, the tank equipped with a gun of less than 75 mm caliber had no chance to survive on the Eastern front. In 1942 the tank models Pz.-1A and Pz.-1B had been withdrawn from the arsenal. Part of those machines was reequipped into ammunition transporters. Turrets were dismounted, and welded metal boxes of simple shape opened on the top were mounted instead. It is known, for example, that 12 such machines operated at Leibstandarte SS "Adolf Hitler".
