  Achtung Panzer! - Development
Rheinmetall's Model A and Krupp's Model B were very similar in their overall design and mainly differed in the armament and arrangement of the weapons mounted in the turret.
The development of Leichte Traktor, Grosstraktors and Neubaufahrzeugs provided German designers and manufacturers with valuable experience in designing and producing the next generation of more powerful panzers that were soon to come.
The remains of the NbFz VI (a section of the running gear) can still beseen in the small museum at Kvam and until the late 1980's the 25mm anti-tank gun was still to be seen in good condition, left in spot where it was left by its previous owners in April of 1940.

In order to recompensate for the loss, platoon size unit equipped with three Neubaufahrzeug Panzerkampfwagen VI (Krupp turret) heavy tanks commanded by Lieutenant Hans Horstmann was sent to Norway.
The focus was on three Neubaufahrzeug Panzerkampfwagen VI (Krupp turret) heavy tanks, which were to show the Allies that the German Panzertruppe was equipped with heavy tanks.
Overall, Neubaufahrzeug Panzerkampfwagen VI (Krupp turret) heavy tanks proved to be unsuited for combat but in many cases provided infantry with the only available support.

The most impressive tank in the invasion troops were three Neubaufahrzeuge, which were subordinated to Pz.Abt.z.b.V.40 but lacking circle-V insignia.
Instead, they wore elephant marking on the hull front and a small roman letter ('R' and 'Z' are known) on the turret rear.
The large turret number was erased when Neubaufahrzeuge were shipped to Norway as Panzer-Zug Horstman (part of 4.Kp, Pz.Abt.z.b.V.40).

New fact, an auxiliary gun was added to the principal gun on the central turret and the machine-guns were installed in small turrets to the front and to the back of the vehicle.
This new type accepted the designation of Neubaufahrzeug (NbFz) (vehicle of new construction).
Six machines of this type were manufactured by Krupp and Rheinmetall-Borsig, into soft-steel since they are prototypes.

 Multi-turreted tanks
Germany showed little interest in the heavy or breakthrough tank which was so popular with the French and Soviet armies.
However, in 1934 two prototype versions were produced under the transparent cover title of 'mittlere Traktor' or 'Neubaufahrzeug' (new construction vehicle), generally shortened to Nb.Fz.
Three turrets assembled by Krupp were mounted on three chassis assembled by Rheinmetall to create Neubau Fahrzeug Nr.3-5 in 1936.The Neubaufahrzeug was very similar in size and layout to the Grosstraktor but incorporated new features, such as auxiliary gun turrets fore and aft, mounting twin MG13 machine-guns.

These included the new heavy tank, also ordered under a code name, in this case Neubaufahrzeug or “new-construction vehicle.” It also was at first described as an artillery tractor.
Krupp was busily outfighting Rheinmetall among the Nazi bureacracy, and soon obtained a contract for its own vehicle that became the PanzerKampfwagen IV.
In addition to training duties, the Neubaufahrzeug made frequent appearances in propaganda photos, and was displayed at the 1939 International Automobile Exposition in Berlin as the Wehrmacht’s standard heavy tank.

The scratchbuilding is essential because the Ausf A had a wider superstructure than other Pz IVs, and even the turret is substantially reworked.
The final build is the famous Neubaufahrzeug from an Armo multimedia kit with Friuli tracks and a few spares from other kits and accessories.
Some modifications are made for greater accuracy, and like the other builds everything is described and shown in clear photographs.

Later they switched to two turrets, assuming this had more combat value as two turrets could engage two targets.
This view was also expressed in heavy tanks of the day like the German Neubaufahrzeug and the Russian T28 and T35.
The T35 was more like a land battleship with two MG turret, two 37mm gun turret and one main turret, mounting a 75mm gun and two machine guns.

 Panzer-Abteilung z.b.V.40
Road blockades of felled timber and huge stone impediments slowed the German advance, and temporarily put the Panzers at a disadvantage, but were usually overcome by a combination of infantry and assault-engineer elements working in front and alongside of the advance units to neutralize such hazards.
The forces arrayed against the Germans employed the Boys anti-tank rifle, as well as the French 25mm Hotchkiss anti-tank gun, both of which were easily capable of penetrating the armor of the Neubaufahrzeug Pz.VI (see below), as well as that of the lightly armored Pz.I & Pz.II types.
Units employing the Pz.II found that the use of the 2cm sprenggranaten (high-explosive) round fired from their 2cm Kw.K main-gun especially useful in clearing infantry held roadblocks.

The side skirts appear to represent the wire mesh type, and could be replaced by scratchbuilt units for accuracy.
Initially designated "Neubaufahrzeug" (to obscure its real purpose; using the name "Panzerkampfwagen" would betray the violation of the Versailles Treaty inherent in the development of a tank) this German design of the mid 1930s was the first true German heavy tank (20 tons at the time).
Only three full-armor prototypes were built, each armed with two guns (37 and 74mm) and three MGs.

 PzKpfw I
This so-called tractor had a turret-mounted 75mm gun and resembled the Vickers Medium Mark II.
In the early '30s came the multi-turreted Neubaufahrzeug with a 75mm and coaxial 37mm gun in the main turret and machine guns in each of two small turrets fore and aft of the main turret.
These and other forbidden light tanks were tried out with Russian connivance at a tank testing centre established in 1926 at Kazan on the river Kama, deep inside Russia, which was to the mutual benefit of both parties as the Russians were completely inexperienced in this field.

Zwischenlösung simply means "interrim solution", and was used in post-war publications because the true name was not know at the time, which was then carried into modern litterature.
The Neubaufahrzeug was never designated either Pz.Kpfw.V or Pz.Kpfw.VI.
The mistake originated with German newspapers, who since then fooled British intelligence.
