Text in original Preserved German Tanks publication:
This command tank was at the School of Tank Technology, Chobham Lane, Chertsey, before being moved to Bovington. It is appears to be a 3KlB model with low cupola and additional armour protection.
Text in Preserved German Tanks Update:
This vehicle arrived in Tripoli, Libya, on 10 March 1941 and served with the 5th Panzer Regiment, which originally formed part of the 5th Light Division. The 5th Panzer Regiment subsequently formed the core of the 21st Panzer Division, created in the summer of 1941 as part of the Afrika Korps. The 5th Panzer Regiment took part in the advance on Egedabia and Mechili and the seige of Tobruk. This tank was captured in Tunisia in late 1941 and shipped to the U.K. It was the subject of a School of Tank Technology report, which was completed in 1943 after trials at Farnborough (presumed to have been at the Mechanical Warfare Experimental Establishment). It was gifted from STT to the Tank Museum in 1951. During restoration it was found to originally have had a dark grey and brown camouflage scheme. It is believed to have taken part in the early Blitzkreig campaigns and probably served with 3rd Panzer Division in the 1940 French campaign before being transferred to North Africa. (Source: Tracklink 71, 72). There are shot holes in the superstructure and hull, damage sustained before the tank was captured. It is displayed in the markings of the 21st Panzer division and resides in the France 1940 section.
