Light tanks converging on a field, 1937

A long column of light tanks with small turrets comes down a slope on the left while a second column crosses the churned field from the right; the commanders stand upright in their open hatches as the vehicles converge and pass one another in a cloud of dust. Germany had set up its first three armoured divisions in October 1935, and officers like Heinz Guderian were arguing that tanks, massed together, would decide the next war.
