Historical Background
The ammunition carrier on Mk.VI 736(e) chassis was a German conversion of captured British Mk.VI light tanks, designated with the "(e)" suffix indicating "englisch" (English) origin. After capturing numerous British tanks during early war campaigns, German forces converted some Mk.VI chassis into specialized ammunition carriers to support artillery units and armored formations. These conversions featured modified hulls with ammunition storage compartments, racks, and loading equipment to safely transport shells, propellant charges, and other ordnance to frontline units. The 736(e) designation indicated its role in the German inventory system. These vehicles provided essential logistics support, particularly on the Eastern Front where supply lines were stretched and specialized transport vehicles were in high demand.
