General Information


The Kliener Panzerbefehlswagen was a light armoured command variant of the PzKpfw I built on a lengthened Ausf A chassis which was used for the Ausf B production model. It was track driven with the engine and drive sprocket to the front of the vehicle, the track fed under 5 roadwheels, and then under a rear idler, finally returning to the front drive sprocket via 4 return rollers. It contained both a radio reciever and transmitter, where the Ausf A and B only had a receiver. Defence was provided by a front mounted MG13 or MG34.
