The A7V, which was classified as a heavy tank, was a German tank that first appeared in 1918 during World War One ! In early 1917, one hundred chassis were ordered. Ten were utilised as armoured battle vehicles, while the others were deployed, as Überlandwagen goods transports! The number of armoured units was eventually increased to 20

From March through October 1918, they were in battle ! They were the only tanks built by Germany during World War One , that were utilized in combat !

In September 1916, the German War Ministry established a commission, to explore tank development under the authority of the Allgemeines Kriegsdepartement, Abteilung 7 Verkehrswesen called "General War Department, Section 7, Transportation in English ! Joseph Vollmer, one of Germany's most renowned vehicle designers, was tasked with designing and building the first German tank !

The first tank-on-tank fight in history took place near Villers-Bretonneux on April 24, 1918, when three A7V , including chassis number 561, known as Nixe, were participating in an infantry charge when they encountered three British Mark 4 tanks, Two female machine gun-armed tanks and one male with two 6-pounder guns !



The A7V was powered by two centrally placed Daimler 4-cylinder petrol engines, each producing 75 Kilo watt or 101 horse power , and it had a fuel capacity of 500 litres or 130 US gallon
This will propelled the tank at speeds of just over nine miles per hour, making it one of the fastest tanks of World War 1 ,despite its size !!

The A7V had a power-to-weight ratio of 6.8 hp per ton and a ground clearance of 190 to 400 mm, and could span ditches up to 2.1 meter wide 7.5 to 15.7 inches long !

The A7V also had a spring-type suspension, which aided its cross-country capability. Despite its powerful engine and suspension, the A7V's design was top-heavy and ineffective in off-road conditions !!
