The Leichttraktor (Vs.Kfz.31) was a German experimental tank designed during the Interwar Period. After the end of WW I, Germany was restricted in military development by the Treaty of Versailles. However, a secret program under the name cover "Traktor" was developing armoured military vehicles and artillery. Its engine was mounted inside the front portion of the hull and the turret was mounted above the fighting compartment in the rear of the tank. Both Rheinmetall and Krupp produced prototypes, and in 1928, Rheinmetall was awarded the order of 289 tanks. However, some time later, the order was cancelled.
