Interesting eBay pics

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.

I assume this Char 2c is on a German training ground - I can not even image using it in combat - even for in rear areas.

Well spotted Alanmccoubrey, Your right they are French. I thought it was the last remaining char 2c captured by the Germans, not so.

Two from ebay, the first - Waterloo, it could be 1940 or 44? and this camera man finds this damaged Panzer very interesting.

Just noticed that the half-track has had some kind of modification done to it, It appears to have lost the back end of it structure.

The flak 18 can't be towed with the gun pointing away from the vehicle something to do with the front trailer I believe. The later flak 36/37 that the same trailer front and back and thus can be towed both ways.
