^You really should have visited Kubinka to see their collection of rare German armour

To me this one has always looked like it is from WWI period, rather than anything from 1930s or WWII.

Kugelpanzer

Just saw this new Dyson Hoover advertised on the telly - looking at the ball part - it ain't a million miles away from the design of the Kugelpanzer and seeing this hoover zip across the floor perhaps they were on the right track for a very mobile single mans panzer???????

This has been on some forums before.
There is a french website dealing with surviving panzers over the world and also has some photos of this thing.
They believe it to be a sort of one man armored recon purpose
