N.O.S. Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 What an amazing vehicle - perhaps it was only ever a 'concept contraption' and never made it into production? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mash Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The wheels are very thin, doubt it would of been very good in the mud with its weight and no way of spreading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Dosen't seem to make sense. How would you get it along trenches? It wouldn't run in the trench, and you certainly wouldn't want to go above the trench line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Cornering would also be rather difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Wasnt most German trenches concreted No. Some strong points were concrete as were Britsh ones. They formed an anchor on which other trenches and defences were based. Front line trenches were narow , the bigger they are the bigger the target.
