<p>German WW2 era Light Reconnaissance Rolling Vehicle
Very little is known about this one-off prototype, other than it is one man scouting vehicle built by Krupp and only has 5mm armour on the hull.
No details have ever been released about the inner workings of the vehicle other than that it was powered by a single cylinder two-stroke engine. The material the hull was constructed from also seems to be a well-kept secret for some reason. Not visible from this angle is the small ‘tail’ which keeps the vehicle upright from behind.
It is usually reported that it was captured by Soviet forces in Manchuria in 1945, having previously been sent to the region as part of the technology sharing scheme between Germany and Japan, however it has also been suggested that it was instead captured at the Kummersdorf testing grounds in Germany at the same time as the prototype Maus tank. 
Since being taken to Russia this mysterious prototype has been kept at Kubinka and is now on display in Hall 10 of the Patriot Museum Complex.
Park Patriot, Kubinka, Moscow Oblast, Russia.
