Hi there,

Two photos here with text on the reverse, I can guess what they mean from the context of the pictures but can anyone say for sure please?

Thanks Rob,

I find it funny why he's describing an armoured train as a platoon of tanks though... that looks like a tank barrel popping out from the right side of the photo, so there may have been tanks on the train...hmmmm....

Thanks heaps though!! :D:D:D

I probably got it wrong as Panzerzug can mean both tank platoon and armoured train .. should have taken a closer look but you know how it is early in the morning... :D
