The '''Carden-Loyd''' serial number '''VAE 393''' is a unique tankette purchased by Germany in November 1931.

== Development ==
An order for the British Carden-Loyd tankette was undertaken by [[Waffen Prüfen 6]] around '''February of 1931'''. This order was completed in early '''November 1931''', with photographs taken on the '''10th of November 1931'''.

The procurement of the tankette was part of an effort to develop an indigenous light tank, the [[Kleintraktor Disambiguation|kleintraktor]] programme. This line of development would eventuate to the [[Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf. A|Panzerkampfwagen I]].
