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 prototypes,projects,zero series,curiosity photos...

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.
Hosted by Christian Ankerstjerne

It doesn´t looks like a Schmallturm to me,looks like a very late G turret (No AA MG Rail and Foliage loops on the side of the turret but shape doesn´t resemble that of Narrow turret and there are no bulges for the rangefinder )
Can somebody explain,please?

Quite nice pictures! Very interesting!
Just add one! Maybe we can call it as Germany LVT.

Land-Wasser-Schlepper(land-water tractor)

The LWS and trailer idea was tried and tested quite slowly and leisurely until "Seelöwe" (Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of Great Britain) was to become reality after the fall of France. The LWS and trailer could certainly be used in such an amphibious operation, but they were more suited for calmer waters of inland water bodies, not the tempestuous English Channel. The LWS program was for a while carried out with more urgency, but was never materialized. By 1941 the project was dropped, when the prospect of Seelöwe was overshadowed by the much more serious Operation Barbarossa (invasion of Russia).
