Following the reintegration of West Germany into NATO in the mid1950s, the Bundeswehr was equipped with American tanks under the Military Aid Program. Quickly realising they were not suitable, Germany began the design of their own main battle tank in 1956.The Leopard 1 family of vehicles became the first fullyGerman developed series of armoured combat vehicles to be built after the Second World War, and it owes much to the design concepts developed through combat experience during the latter stages of that war. Using the Germanbuilt version of the British L7 105mm gun for its main armament, the Leopard focused on firepower and with its impressive crosscountry performance it was unmatched by most other tank designs of the era.The first production Leopard 1 left the line in September 1965 and since then Leopards have seen operational service in Afghanistan (Canadian Leopard C2 MEXAS), Bosnia and Croatia (UNPROFOR Danish Leopard 1A5DK MBT), Kosovo (KFOR: Danish 1A5DK; Canadian C1 and Italian 1A5), and Somalia (UNOSOM German Bergpanzer and Pionierpanzer). In 2003 the German Army relinquished its Leopard 1s, and in 2011 the Canadian Battle Group withdrew its Leopard 1s from Afghanistan.
