'' Panzer I Command tank T-1KA ''

Kleiner Panzerbefehlswagens 1 KLA
Small armored commander’s machine Kl.Pz.Bf.Wg., modification 1 KIA (Kleiner Panzerbefehlswagen) has been created on base of T-1A tank. At the first stage of Panzerwaffe creation, the German Command considered that the leader of the tank subdivision should not necessarily participate in the battle; his task lied in the battle control. Therefore, the commander’s tanks of the first series had no armament at all. The tank crew consisted of three persons: tank commander/eader of tank subdivision in one person, tank driver and radio-telegrapher. Machine was equipped with two powerful radio stations. Afterwards it was decided that tank should have arms and the machine was equipped with one MG - 13 machine gun of 7,92 mm caliber. Radio equipment included transceiver FuG 6 with 13 - 16 km reach and receiving radio station FuG 2.
