I do not know of any example of this, but that ain't saying much..... German armour was perceived to be better than the British counterpart, I say perceived, but, for example in North Africa, the German advances tended to be quick in the extreme. Allied attacks throughout the war, in the west at least, tended to be much more measured. The Germans certainly used captured US equipment in the Battle of the Bulge, but then they were dressed as Americans ! Whether the Russians ever captured a Tiger or Panther I do not know.

What are tanks that were used in world war 1?

The French built and used the Renaults, fine tanks that the US later built on license. The British built and used the MK series...I, II, III. The British tanks were called males and females; males had cannons, females carried machineguns. The first German tanks were captured allied tanks; they'd paint em up then send em back to their former owners.


Did both axis and the allies have tanks in world war 1?

Yes. There were tanks on both sides. The German tank was renowned for it's 'speed' of 12kph but light armor. Thin enough for 30cal fire to shred anyone inside.. The German tanks in WW1 were not a success. The allied forces had the opposite effect. The british tanks ruled the battlefields of 1916.. Heavily armoured (or I could say excessively as it was 27tons and moved at 3kph) and well armed for it's time. However, a direct hit from artillery would knock the tank out.. It took another world war till tanks could survive a single direct artillery strike..

How did new technology like the tanks help break the stalemate in world war 1?

Tanks allowed the Allies to cross no-man's land safely and to punch holes inside German lines, leaping trenches while bullets pinged off their hulls. Once the tanks hand broken through, the infantry could safely cross no-man's land and consolidate the tanks gains, without being mowed down by a hail of bullets from enemy trenches.
