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 Francy,

Nice looking Tiger photo's you have posted here. Does the seller give any information as to the location / unit?

Perhaps you could post the url to Ebay?

Many thanks,

Chris Brown

Never Mind.

The second photo is one of the last 6 Tigers received by 2.Kp sPA504 in Sicily. I was hoping there was some way of connecting the first photo to 504 as well. As kriegsmarine221 points out, some of the uniforms do not appear to be German. Does anyone recognise the uniform indicated in the photo?

Many thanks,

Chris Brown.

Thanks for the info.

Looks like another entry into the 'Unknown Tigers' folder.

Or a radio van (Kfz. 17 — could that be a bedframe antenna ?) with a stove for the radio operators to keep warm.

Cheers
