A note on Mephisto
A7V 506 Mephisto bogged down at Villers-Bretonneux in April 1918 and was recovered that July by men of the 26th Battalion, Australian Imperial Force, who painted their own marks on it before shipping it home. It is the only A7V left in the world. Sheet 1 gives you the tank in German service; Sheet 1B gives you the tank the Australians towed away.
