Hi Bill,

[Bill Murray]

Yup, a one off prototype destroyed in an Allied Air Raid shortly after completion.

Back to Finland again.

Cheers

Bill

[Piotr Mikołajski]

Steyr 1500?

[peeved]

Hi Piotr,

A 1500 A it is. Here's the rest of the pic from Kraftfahzeugtypen, Band 2 by Windecker.

Over to you,
Markus

[Piotr Mikołajski]

Once again cropped photo. Name this vehicle, it should be easy.

[Bill Murray]

Hi Piotr:

Nobody else wants to play, so may I guess that it is British, buete, and possibly a Crusader............

Cheers
Bill

I don't know, I miss a day and you lot do about ten questions and answers !

Piotr, is that a Matilda ? Nice rounded lines of a cast turret with a 2 pounder gun.

[peeved]

So you guys managed to squeeze your PC screen under a microscope?

Markus

[Alanmccoubrey]

I used a magnifying glass

[Piotr Mikołajski]

Bingo! Bill was close but Alan was closer
This is photo recently seen on eBay.de, maybe still available, Matilda II captured by DAK. I thoght that desert uniforms will be helpful and I'm glad that this question was not answered within 10 minutes

Over to Alan.

[Alanmccoubrey]

Piotr, As I understand it by 1941 the British Army had stopped calling them the Matilda II as the dear old Matilda I was long gone from service, unusual for an army to show some bureaucratic sense I know.

Now how about this ? Cropped from a pic that I saw for the first time today.

[Piotr Mikołajski]

Well... just wild guess but maybe Panzerbefehlswagen II?

[Alanmccoubrey]

Piotr, Well it was a good guess , I had hoped that the star antenna would confuse the issue ! Over to you.

[Piotr Mikołajski]

In fact I saw few PzBfWg II photos recently but not this one. And I was not so sure if this is Panzer II or modified Panzer IV turret


This one should be hard - name this vehicle.
