Ian, not a hull mg I'm afraid, not even the front of a tank in the pic.

Alan
Antenna mount on superstructure side of a Pz III Ausf L or M.

Rich

[Alanmccoubrey]

Rich, very close but you need to think a little deeper, not an L or M or N for that matter.

[Pz III]

Thanks Alan - Ausf J Befehlspanzer

The very thing. I cropped this pic from a photograph of one found abandoned in Holland during Market Garden. It had belonged to the HG Training Regiment apparently. I thought that perhaps the fact that the antenna trough had been stripped from it might confuse. I believe that I can just make out the edge of the pot for the star antenna hidden by the open engine cowl.

Are you choosing the next question Rich, if I get it right I will add one that I have found, I will keep it up my sleeve until you have had your go, but it should be meat and drink to you guys.

Thanks Alan,
I had a toss up between J & L-M models. Couldn't reconcile the lack of an armored cooling louver and now I know why. Anyway good quiz subject now let me see what I can dredge up.

Hi Ian - yes if you have the correct answer to what I post you will have control.

[Pz III]

Ok guys - here is my next quiz subject. Yes it is a Pz III. What I am looking for is specifically what Ausf and true purpose.

[yantaylor]

Complete stab in the dark here Rich, but is it a Ausf E and its roll is Panzerbefehlswagen?

Ian

[Pz III]

Hi Ian
Yes that's correct - please show us your quiz subject.

Thanks
Richard

Brano, don't tell that to Wikipedia who don't know that the drive sprocket was different even if the road wheels might have looked vaguely similar.
