The Panzerkampfwagen I, also known as SdKfz 101, was Germany's first mass-produced tank during the 1930s. Designed primarily for training purposes, it surprisingly found itself in combat situations early on, with its first deployments occurring in Spain's civil war and later in Poland and France. Despite its thin armor and weak main armament, these pioneering tanks played a significant role in the development of Blitzkrieg tactics and the strategic use of tanks in battle.
