In the first years of its existence, the German Army was dependent on loans from the Americans. But with the development of the Leopard 1 battle tank, the first in-house development after 1945, a new era began in 1966 - for the German Army's armored force as well as for the battalions of the Western allies: The new battle tank was so impressive with its qualities that it was considered the new benchmark in its class. It is therefore no wonder that, in various versions and further developments, it formed the backbone of the German and various other armored troops for decades. Rolf Hilmes knows all the details.
