Historical Information about Neubaufahrzeug

The Neubaufahrzeug, designed in Germany at the request of the Reichswehr in 1933, was among the first German attempts to create a modern heavy tank. Production was limited to 5 prototypes between 1933 and 1935, making this vehicle unusually rare compared to the mass-produced armored equipment of the Third Reich.
The NbFz was a triple-turreted vehicle, armed with a 75 mm or 105 mm gun, an additional 37 mm cannon, and three MG 13 machine guns. The rarity of this vehicle is underlined by the fact that only three units saw combat – during the Norwegian campaign in 1940 (World War II), where they served as a propaganda symbol of German armored power. After the loss of one tank, the remaining ones returned to Germany for testing purposes.
