A very happy find. Unternehmen Michael, made in 1937. Features a replica Beutepanzer that performs heroically, albeit at implausibly high speeds, in the German 1918 offensive. A couple of British replicas also appear. It's a full-length feature, so if you don't want to watch all the way through, the Tanks kick in from about 59 mins.

Less stirring is this earlier film Niemandsland It's a Weimar job, and therefore anti-war, whereasthe previous one is obviously a Third Reich product.

Both are in German. I shan't spoil the ending unless anyone insists.

A couple of sample stills:

Very good replica, I read about a Mark IV (Beute) being used in a WWI propaganda film as well. Though I notice that the soldier at 01:05:30 makes a rude gesture...
You'll find that Weimar Republic cinema is fantastic, Nosferatu for example is a genuinely good film, and not just in a nostalgic/forthehellofit way.
