In the morning of September 1, 1939, the German forces consisting of the
3 rd, 4 th, 8 th, 10 th and the 14 th Armies invaded Poland all heading for
Warsaw, its capital. This was the beginning of the 2 nd World War that
had shaken the whole world for six years and the Germans made a good
show of their war efforts at the start with this violent surprise
offensive by massed air forces and mechanized ground forces in close
co-ordination, the so-called Blitzkrieg. It was none other than the
Pzkpfw 11 that had played the key role in this Blitzkrieg which started

the a1 type in 1935. When 25 tanks of the same type were produced, the tank was officially named, Panzer Kampfwagen II.
After the first 25, another 25 tanks of the a2 type and 50 of the a3
type were produced in succession by 1936. Tanks of these 3 types thus
produced were equipped each with a 6-cylinder, 130HP, May-Bach HL37
engine and credited with a maximum speed of 40 km/h. However, it was
decried that the horse-power was not enough and the engine was replaced
