Production of the Pz.Kpfw.I Series

Panzer Tracts 1-1: Panzerkampfwagen I by Jentz

Significant amounts of information have been lost on the early Panzerwaffe, but there are a few scraps left.

By the end of 1934, Deutsche Edelstahlwerke had delivered the armor components for:

218 hulls
54 superstructures
54 turrets

M.A.N. finished their first chassis in December 1934.

However, complete Panzer I Ausf A's were delayed until early 1935, due to difficulties involved in fitting the superstructures to the hulls.

Heer vehicle inventories show that they had the following Panzer I Ausf A's in their inventories:

Date	Panzer I Ausf A in inventory
1 August 1935	318
31 December 1935	720
1 June 1936	1,065
1 October 1936	1,160

If we assume that technical difficulties prevented the delivery of the first completed Panzer I Ausf A to the Heer until around 1 February 1935; the following calculations result:

Date	Panzer I Ausf A in inventory	Difference in Vehicle Counts	Days between each count	Avg Acceptance Rate/Day	Avg Acceptance Rate/Month (30.4 days) (Rounded Down)
1 February 1935	1	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
1 August 1935	318	+317	181	1.75	53
31 December 1935	720	+402	152	2.64	80
1 June 1936	1,065	+345	153	2.25	68
1 October 1936	1,160	+95	122	0.78	23
Average Monthly Acceptance Rate for Ausf A (1,160 Vehicles, 20 months)					58

According to Jentz, records haven't survived showing when exactly the first Panzer I Ausf B was completed, but he suspected it was around July or August of 1936.

By 1 October 1936, 52 out of 403 Panzer IBs had been delivered, with the remainder to be delivered by 1 May 1937. On 8 May 1937 a report was issued that said out of the existing contracts, 58 still had not been delivered yet, making total deliveries at that point about 345.

Using the above information, we get:

Date	Panzer I Ausf B in inventory	Difference in Vehicle Counts	Days between each count	Avg Acceptance Rate/Day	Avg Acceptance Rate/Month (30.4 days) (Rounded Down)
1 August 1936	1	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
1 October 1936	52	+51	61	0.84	25
8 May 1937	345	+293	219	1.34	40
Average Monthly Acceptance Rate for Ausf B (345 Vehicles, 9 months)					38
