Two German A7V tanks were photographed moving through Artois France in April 1918 as they made their way to the Western Front. These heavy armored vehicles were among the first tanks ever used by Germany during the First World War. Only a small number were built which made sightings like this extremely rare.

Their arrival marked Germanys attempt to counter the growing use of Allied tanks on the battlefield. Even though the A7V was powerful it was difficult to operate and struggled on rough terrain. Moments like this photo capture an important step in the early history of armored warfare.
