German tank:
1. The points most vulnerable to Rifle and Machine Gun bullets are:
Flaps in the conning tower
Gun shield
Machine gun apertures
Undercarriage, when exposed during the crossing of an obstacle
2. A direct hit by artillery will put the tank out of action
3. A trench 8 feet wide or a large shell hole will arrest the tank's progress
(Printed in France by Army Printing and Stationery Services)
The German tank "Elfriede," the first to be captured, can be described as an armoured "caterpillar," carrying a 6-pdr. fun and 6 machine guns. It can travel across ordinary country (cornfields, roots, etc.) as fast as a trotting horse, but can neither cross an 8-foot-trench nor climb a 4-foot bank.
