Conceptual proposal by Alkett director Paul Panten dated 7.10.1940. His tank modification proposal was a sort of compromise between the classic submersible tanks that moved on the bottom of a body of water (Tauchpanzer III/Tauchpanzer IV) and the Schwimmpanzer II/Schwimmpanzer 38(t) floating tanks. He suggested submerging the tank just below the surface. The tank was to be overbalanced by large floats fixed by a structure against the hull and turret of the tank. The drawing shows a sketch of a Pz.Kpfw.III tank, but this design could probably be applied to other types of German tanks as well. This design counted on the advantages of better maneuverability, the submerged tank (about 2 m) was to be protected from enemy fire. Another advantage was that conventional Tauchpanzers had to be unloaded just off the coast, whereas this design envisaged sailing to the English shores from French ports. Navigation was to be facilitated by a gyroscopic compass and air navigation. Observation of the surroundings during the voyage was to be provided by a fully rotatable Zeiss periscope, which was to protrude 1.2-1.5 m above the surface. Propulsion was to be provided by two propellers, probably driven by the tank's engine.
However, this proposal was scrapped along with preparations for the actual invasion of Britain.
