The Sturmpanzerwagen Oberschlesien ("Storm tank Upper Silesia" from German: der Sturm, the storm; German: der Panzerwagen the tank) was a German tank project of the First World War. It was a radical design for a fast-moving, lightly armoured assault tank.
The Oberschlesien included a track which was placed under the tank and only wrapped around half of it. The design sacrificed armour for the sake of speed and only required a 180 hp (130 kW) engine for the 19 ton body, giving it a projected ground speed of 16 km/h (9.9 mph) on roads and 16 km/h (9.9 mph) cross country.
The tank featured such advanced features as the main armament mounted on top of the tank in a centrally placed revolving turret, separate fighting and engine compartments, a rear-mounted engine and a low track run.
