EDITORS COMMENTS
German Tanks on Parade: An Imposing Reichswehr Display, 1932 This striking photograph captures the imposing sight of a line of German dummy tanks on parade during the early 1930s. The image, published by the Illustrated London News in 1932, offers a glimpse into the military training practices of the German Reichswehr during the post-World War I era. The tanks in the photograph are not authentic military vehicles but rather dummies, constructed from sheet iron and pasteboard, which were fitted over motor cars. These sham tanks were used for training purposes, allowing soldiers to simulate real-life combat situations without the risk of actual damage or injury. The Reichswehr, the German military organization established after the Treaty of Versailles, was subject to strict military limitations imposed by the treaty. The use of dummy tanks was a clever way to maintain the appearance of a strong military presence while adhering to the restrictions on military spending and the prohibition of maintaining an army larger than 100,000 men. The photograph conveys a sense of grandeur and power, with the dummy tanks arranged in neat rows, their guns pointed towards the horizon. The soldiers in uniform, standing proudly beside their makeshift vehicles, add to the impression of a well-disciplined and formidable military force. Despite the deception, the use of dummy tanks was an essential component of military training during this period, allowing soldiers to gain valuable experience in handling and operating tanks, and preparing them for the potential future conflicts. This photograph serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the military during the interwar years, and the importance of training and preparation in the face of geopolitical tensions.
