@Ostfriese: yes, military
@Eich: it looks like, and the creator had something to do with railways, but this was not intended to move on rails when in action

That's the one! This did not take long ...

There were two, both not really successful. I wonder what I should have answered if someone asked whether it's a 'tank' ..

Thanks Aktung for posting this material. So yes it is the second one, but still a Boirault machine.

Over to Jim
