Darwin and the Tank

The very first tanks, which appeared on the battlefield of WWI in 1915, were called "Little Willi" and "Mother". It seemed they had not yet been defined: Were they tractors, mobile artillery, or fast vehicles? Over the following decades, this species of weapon had undergone a startling evolution. Heiner Müller describes tanks as the "continuation of the inner life by other means".
