The A7V was the first German tank it was built in very limited numbers in World War I and saw some action. Unlike many other German tanks it has a quite negative reputation, which is probably not justified. In this video I take a look at the production history, numbers built, armor, armament, measurements and the very interesting crew layout.

--Notes on Accuracy & “Methodology”--
I used the tank encylclopdia articles for references values on the Mark V tanks armour. Due to several errors in the Wikipedia articles of the A7V, encountered and corrected several errors on the A7V values.
