I don't know, I turn the computer off for 24 hours and you two have set and answered four questions ! I'd better jump in and say that the latest is a 10.5cm leFh 18/1(sfl) auf Geschützwagen IVb (SdKfz 165/1).

Hi Alan,
You're absolutely right.
Go ahead.

Thanks Markus, I think we're all getting too good at this so have cropped this pic to try and make identification a little harder.

Hello, Alan!
Hm-m... The picture seems too small.
Probably, some vehicle armed with 37 mm. Pak 35/36 cannon?

Bset regards, Aleks

[Alanmccoubrey]

Aleks, Yes a 37mm, sorry that it is smaller than normal.

[Alanmccoubrey]

Perhaps a clue is in order ? Well I think the vehicle's most noteworthy feature is in the pic and I would remind you of my last question .

[AVV]

Hello!
The vehicle under question looks rather small. Schwimmwagen, may be?

Best regards, Aleks

Hi Alan, hi Aleks,

for me a Schwimmwagen is too small for an AT-gun-portee. I think it could be a Krupp L 2 H 143, a so called Krupp-Protze.

Bert, The very one, this particular one being used by Pz Jgr Abt 44 who seem to have gone in for converting their Protze to "SP Guns". This is better pic of the same vehicle but using it would have made the Quiz just too easy. Over to you.

[SIS 5]

Hi Alan,

thanks. Here is the next vehicle to ID. Please try to ID this truck of the Heer with a special body.

Regards

Bert

Bert, Is that a Bussing-Nag G31 as Kfz 61 ?

[SIS 5]

Hi Alan,

really great. My compliment.
The pic is out of the booklet "German Military Vehicles Rarities (1)). The text to the pic:
"The Kfz. 62 on a late Büssing-NAG G 31 chassis came from civilian sources into Wehrmacht service with a signal unit. Presumably its previous civilian owner had been a broadcasting company which explains its non military style superstructure."

So it´s Your turn again.

Regards

Bert

[Alanmccoubrey]

Bert, A nice easy one.

[Alanmccoubrey]

Well, I thought it would be easy. I mean just how many types of tank did the Germans make "float" ?
