I know there were precious few tank vs tank situations during The Great War, but are there any photos at all showing the opposing vehicles in the same picture? Similarly, I have seen pictures of tanks captured by the Germans and remarked at their workshop. These are either taken during training or preparations or knocked out vehicles. Anybody know of any photos of allied-made German-marked tanks in actual combat?
Thanks. |

German Armored Vehicles of World War One
by Tom Laemlein
is the "bible" of German Great War armor. It must have almost every picture of German vehicles taken. I looked through my copy but found no pictures of opposing vehicles, or captured vehicles in combat. Lots of pictures of the latter, but either in training or knocked out on battlefield. One in streets of Berlin with Frei Korps. Here or check eBay

is the "bible" on Freikorps. There are pictures of MKIV in street of Berlin (pp.113 – 116, 157), Whippet tank (p. 118) link |

I don't know of any photos that have opposing tanks in the same scene. The encounter near Villers Bretonneux took place during hectic fighting. The other action near Awoingt took place in fog IIRC. To date I have not discovered any examples of French vs German tanks. Robert |
