The Panzer I ‘Breda’ was a rare conversion using an Italian 20mm Breda autocannon as a way of countering Soviet gun armed tanks and armoured cars. Only 4 were converted before the politicians got in the way and the capture of so many Republican vehicles made the argument moot.

The Panzer I Ausf.B can be seen as a direct improvement of the Ausf.A, featuring a water-cooled engine, upgraded suspension, and a modified rear. The main reason for the upgrade being the Ausf.A’s weak engine and concomitant unreliability. The winner was the Maybach 100 hp NL 38 Tr. solving the problems.

Only one photo is known to exist of the Panzer I Ausf.B ‘Lanzallamas’. This had a Flammenwerfer 35, modified with a short and fat armored cover with some ventilation slots to avoid overheating. Mounted in the right MG port, it could apparently not close due to the barrel being too thick.
