Welcome to the HeavyMetalPro Forums

someone had the idea to build a Tank that had no engine, instead the one-man tank had no bottom so the one man inside could push it manually...
I guess in WWI that would have been something usefull(well sort of..) but this is an Idea from the late 1930s. It was never accepted for service.

I entered it as a trailer, then edited the text. I left the trailer hitch in, as I suppose it could be towed to wherever it would be used.
