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.

Hi GeorGGe! Nice work on the Buessing (Bill found my source, too ;) )
It's a Demag SdKfz 7 (partially armored) with a Pak 35/36.

No way is that a SdKfz 7, much too small- SdKfz 10 would be my guess.

Jmehner - you are right. Sd.Kfz.10 with additional armoring and Pak 35/36. I think - army alteration.

Your turn.

Regards. GeorGGe

Not to worry,

I don't have anything to post right now, as life is much too busy- over to you, Sitz, as you were only a typo away.

Cheers,

JM

Alas I am short on hard ones that I know anything about so I'll try angling for
company only, as I do not know anything about series type etc.

Not quite sure what you meant in your post Bill, but the same photo appears in Spielberger's book on Reichswehr vehicles. It is a Trippel "Landwasser-Zepp, System Trippel, Versuchswagen 3". My conversational German is not good but if I read it right, there were a few prototypes built on the DKW chassis then one or more on an Adler Trumpf chassis. I think this one is a DKW but cannot be sure.

Bill
Just had company name and that the company made one of the few attempts to make an amphibious car. Therefore I did not know "Landwasser-Zepp, System Trippel, Versuchswagen 3". Just that it was made by Tippel of Molsheim.(Therefore fishing for more info).
My problem is lack of knowledge of softskin vehicles. I have a few pictures/video clips of unknown to me, vehicle types. So have to post only those I have a passing knowledge of.
Not those I have no idea of at all or I could not say who was right/wrong.
Plus I sometimes seem to have problems explaining myself.( Probably like in theis reply)
:oops:
Over to you..
Bill

Sorry, my last post was a mistake. The amphib was a Skoda S972 and I misread the date of manufacture, which was 1950, not 1940.
Here is another pretty one.
