By an accession number it is one of tanks destroyed at a hill 171.
The employees of a museum have signed all tanks, which there lay.

Or tractor. I think that it is Type 92 8t Prime Mover "Ni-Ku".

Probably it is valid a tractor, you see on the drawings at Type 89 bottoms flat, and in a photo no.

And more I want to ask, whether was at the Japanese armies on an island Shimushu on arms Type 97 Te-Ke tankette?

I don't know what you mean by "12 and 2 Tank Company", but tank company usually had ten and a few tanks.

This information is wrong. The 2nd Independent Tank Company was on Shimushu, but it was absorbed by 11th Tank Regiment. The tank unit like 12 Tank Company did not exist.

> How much all was then tanks on an island?

19 Type 97-Improved Medium Tank
20 Type 97 Medium Tank
25 Type 95 Light Tanks

Whether there is at you a detailed information on battle actions of the Japanese tanks of August 18?
If it is possible, with photos and maps? I have book written on memoirs of the Soviet veterans about
landing to an island, it would be desirable to compare.
If it is interesting, I can place this book here, but she all in Russian.

There are some memoirs of Japanese tankers on Shimushu. But, they are all in Japanese and out of print.
