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.

German vehicles in the U.S service.

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
The Panther was used by the French 1e DB (or maybe 5e DB) in Alsace where it was captured.

The German design for a " good looking " combat half-track, proved too irresistible even for the Americans . Even nqw they still look very cool . My good friend Francy, heres one from ebay.

Just noticed Francy that these lads have done custom work to their Kubel. Excluding the Broad painted on the side, like the windshield and the honker attached to the divers side. They look like all is needed is Bea Bop music.
