First published in English in 1931, it has never been out of print and has been translated into at least 59 languages. It is Kästner's best-known work.

Emil was the Given name, first name of Kästner's father. Plot summary The story begins in a provincial German town called Neustadt, home to 12-year-old schoolboy Emil Tischbein.

Emil (tank)
Heavy tank project Emil (project number: ''6400''), known under the cover name of Kranvagn ("crane wagon") or KRV for short, was a heavy tank developed secretly in Sweden during the early 1950s; ''Kranvagn'', meaning mobile crane, was a cover-name. The intention was to replace the Swedish Army's disparate tank fleet with a tank that could counter the Soviet IS series heavy tanks and be upgraded continuously. The initial design, in 1950, proposed mounting a 10.5 cm autoloader in an oscillating turret. Due to its size, weight and power to weight it was considered by many to be more of a medium tank than a heavy tank. The project was discontinued during development and only two chassis were built. They were later rebuilt and served as testing platforms for the '' Artillerikanonvagn 151'' and '' Stridsvagn 103'' projects. Project At the end of World War II, it was clear that the mix of tanks in service in the Swedish Armed Forces was not just obsolete but also presented a l ...
