Latrun Tank Museum in Israel
Latrun Tank Museum in Israel
I recieved photos from the Latrun Tank Museum in Israel for use on my site today and I wanted to share several of them here as it will be a while until the new site is ready, and several of the are no on topic for the so to speak and might not be included.
I hope you'll find them interesting and any help with identifying the vehicles would be great, thanks.

Number 1 is a French AMX-13 light tank ... and number 39 is a nice French Hotchkiss H-39. About 790 H-38/H-39 were operationnal on the front facing Germany in May 1940. One captured H-39 was the first tank of Tito's partisans. Just after the war, Israelis got hold of a dozen units, the first model they had in numbers, and used them until 1956. A light tank in 1940 but with a max 45mm armor it was better protected than the 30-35mm max armor of medium german tanks. The version with the 37mm SA38 L/33 gun was rather good.
