A German A7V Sturmpanzerwagen (Nº504 “Schnuck”) of Abteilung 2.
Captured by a New Zealand Division at Frémicourt, Nord-Pas-de-Calais on the 31 August 1918 (photo taken 18/9/18).
The A7V had a crew of 18 men and was powered by two 100hp Daimler engines. It was armed with one 57mm Gun and six machine guns.
“Schnuck” was displayed in London on Horse Guards Parade in 1918/19 and given to the Imperial War Museum in 1919 but disposed of in 1922 with only the main gun kept.
I would be happy to display it at the White Wolf Mine, but frankly if I'm going to display something, I'd prefer to have a Tiger (PZ Mk 6)
