Hi Sturm 78,

You want to know my meaning to the halftrack? I think it is a Sd.Kfz. 7. Here the best pics from both possible types I could find: first pic: Sd.Kfz. 7 type KM m 8 (source of the pic: Waffen-Arsenal Band 8 "Halbkettenfahrzeuge" by Uwe Feist), second pic: Sd.Kfz. 8 DB s 8 (source of the pic: Waffen-Arsenal Band 144 "Die schweren Zugkraftwagen der Wehrmacht 1934 - 1945" by Reinhard Frank). So You can compare.

Best regards

Bert

Sturm, The only type that I've seen with the spare tyres like that is the KM m 8.

Hi Dave,
I concur on the Mercedes L 1500/2000. For a thread about gas mask headlamp covers see http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... &p=1848237.

Hi Dave,
It's a Magirus. I'm thinking either M 25 / M 27 / M 30.

BTW what river is this unit crossing?
Cheers,
Max

Great! Thanks Max. The pontoon bridge is across the Dnieper River at Kiev.

HI Max,

I'm having second thoughts on the Mercedes L1500, what do you think about a L3000 S.

Cheers, Dave

I don't think so, Dave. Look at where the headlamps are mounted between the fenders and the bonnet.
Cheers,
Max
