Grosstraktor

Grosstraktor ("large tractor") was the name given to six prototype medium tanks built (two each) by Rheinmetall, Krupp and Daimler, for the German Weimar Republic, in violation of the Treaty of Versailles.

Constructed in secret, they were tested in the Soviet Union. They were used for training and retired as monuments after the Nazi party came to power.
