    Whilst Germany deployed only 18 of its own tank model (A7V), they did capture hundreds of allied tanks and used them in their own regiments.

      Fun Fact: so did the Russian Revolution. The Allies tried to invade and the Bolsheviks captured and reverse engineered Allied tanks, mostly copying French designs to make the T-18.

      There is thus a direct lineage from the French Renault FT to the T-34, which would become famous for fighting Panzers descended from the British Carden Loyd!
