Panzer IV with Hydrostatic Drive. This unique variant of the Panzer IV replaced the standard mechanical transmission with a hydrostatic drive system. Instead of shifting through preset gears, the tank used an oil pump to regulate speed.

The driver controlled the flow of hydraulic fluid—greater flow resulted in higher speed, while reduced flow slowed the vehicle down.

Because the system didn’t rely on fixed gears, speed was continuously variable depending on the amount of fluid circulated. Only a single prototype was ever built, which was captured by U.S. forces in 1945. Today, it resides in a private collection.

The Friday before Memorial Day is National Poppy Day ❤️🇺🇸

The red poppy is a nationally recognized symbol of sacrifice worn by Americans since World War I to honor those who served and died for our country in all wars. It reminds Americans of the sacrifices made by our veterans while protecting our freedoms. ❤️

On Sept. 27, 1920, the poppy became the official flower of the American Legion Family to memorialize the soldiers who fought and died during the war. In 1924, the distribution of poppies became a national program of The American Legion. 🇺🇸
