    In this documentary film about Hitler's warrior Paulus, at 5:21-5:30 you supposedly see footage of early German tanks of which Paulus was fascinated from the beginning. Those tanks have a Christie suspension, and I've never seen them. Anyone know them?

    Thank you. Am I even right that this is a Christie suspension - or just something similar?
