Axis History Forum

This is an apolitical forum for discussions on the Axis nations, as well as the First and Second World Wars in general hosted by Marcus Wendel's Axis History Factbook in cooperation with Michael Miller's Axis Biographical Research, Christoph Awender's WW2 day by day, Dan Reinbold's Das Reich and Christian Ankerstjerne's Panzerworld.

The official AHF Panzers & other vehicles quiz thread

Discussions on the vehicles used by the Axis forces.
Long-time forum member Ron Klages (1939 - 2007) generously shared his knowledge and the results of his impressive research with the forum, and this section has therefore been renamed in his honour.
Hosted by Christian Ankerstjerne

Lol, I hear that Bill. You are, of course, right on the ball with the Chevy Standard. I guess I shoulda said most could guess except you!

Thanks,
Chris

Correct Sitz: I thought the open bonnet might fool some but not you.

It was the fenders and the lights that set off the alarm bells. :D

Anyway, try this:

Don't be lazy as me to type only " Normandie" :D

" We found 36,301 results for photos matching Normandie " :?

However, with key words " Normandie & Tiger " you get the instant result. :wink:

Un char Tiger II sabordé à 10 km au nord-ouest de Vimoutiers.
Ce Tigre II appartenait à la s. Panzer-Abteilung 503 et était tracté par un Bergpanther (le photographe canadien est monté sur le Bergpanther)
Selon la légende de la page 140 du livre : 45 Tiger en Normandie de Didier Lodieu chez Ysec, 2002 ; il n'y avait que deux Bergpanther dans l'Abteilung.
Le feuillage s'est fané entre le moment où le char a été sabordé et celui où le photographe canadien est passé.

Other photos of the same are also good. :)

Of course, " Photos & Normandie " is also worth to review. (Time consuming, however)

Sorry for the delay, had a very busy couple of days...

Hope this one hasn't been posted yet, I've only made it about two-thirds of the way through the thread so far!

As per the quiz rules, I have to wait for Jon to confirm the answer before posting (read the rules). As for uploading pics, you can either use a hosting service like Imageshack or photobucket, or you can use the "add an attachment" feature of the forum.

P.S. Right now to join the quiz you need to answer a question correctly.
