Meet Mephisto in Queensland - The only remaining German WWI combat tank in the world

The only German WW1 combat tank still in existence is set to go on permanent display in Queensland later this year to remember the Australian battalion that captured it 100 years ago. Stefan Armbruster has the story.

The A7V was the only German combat tank in World War I.  Only 20 units of the frightening, armoured tank were produced and none of them survived - except for Mephisto. 

The priceless piece of steel, machinery and weaponry will be unveiled in November at the Queensland Museum in Brisbane, to coincide with Remembrance Day (11 November).
