HotelBushranger, Welcome to the Forum :)
The quiz rules can be found here: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... sc&start=0 But as my question has been hanging around here unanswered for too long I'll pass the right to present the new question to you, and the quiz now continues from the question you have made.

Regards, Juha

P.S. the answer to my question can be found here: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... ht=#881088

Must have been rocket-propelled sledges used to attack Baltic Navy command ship Kazashstan, which was anchored (and ice-bound) near island of Someri 10th of March 1940. I remembered this case vaguely already last friday, but I did not have my books for details with me at that time.

Thanks. Lets try easy one this time. Question: Attached photo shows design drawing of a armoured vehicle, which saw use with Finnish Army. But what vehicle was/is it and where did it end up?
