Günther Burstyn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Günther Burstyn (6 July 1879 in bath Aussee, Steiermark - 15 April 1945 in Korneuburg (Lower Austria)) was a technician and officer of the Austro-Hungarian Army.

He designed in 1911 the first cross-country tank with swivelling turret. The draft design, which was more modern than the tanks of the First World War, was rejected both by Austria-Hungary and by the German Empire. In 1941 Günther Burstyn was awarded with the War Merit Cross.
