The first vehicle to be produced in any numbers for the Panzerwaffe was the tiny Panzer I known asthe MG Panzerwagen. Almost from the outset the limitations of the design for the Panzer I were obvious. It was essentially a training vehicle, which was only pressed into service as a last resort. It was to be succeeded by the Panzer II, which could at least engage armored cars and combat against tanks with approximately the same armor as itself.
