Mephisto, German World War I tank at Queensland Museum, Australia
The A7V tank Mephisto features thick armor plates, multiple machine guns, and a distinctive rhomboid shape measuring 7.3 meters long.
German forces abandoned tank number 506 after it became trapped in a shell crater during the 1918 Battle of Villers-Bretonneux in France.
The tank bears the name Mephisto, a reference to German folklore, following a military tradition of naming vehicles after mythological figures.
Visitors can examine the last remaining German A7V tank at the Anzac Legacy Gallery within the Queensland Museum in Brisbane.
British soldiers painted an Imperial Lion stepping on a German tank after its capture, marking their victory over the abandoned vehicle.
