Optimistic Germans pose in front of a truck captured from the enemy, unaware that an AT-AT Walker will soon blow their faces off.

Darth Vader, then invited to the Paris exhibition by one of Gustave Eiffel's collaborators, developed the idea by initially propelling these machines with nuclear energy and arming them with laser cannons.

A few years later, around 1913, Darth Vader lent some At-At Walkers of his own production to lend a hand to the Allied troops against Germany. <br>
Simply replacing the laser cannons with classic powder cannons, just to remain a little discreet.
