Hi Jos,

Below three examples from Denmark.

I supposed that they are for educational purposes, for pointing out vulnerable points and training aiming on a live size canvas.

At least, the purpose can't be to function as dummies in order fool the Allied, as all the drawings I have seen show Allied tanks.

The drawings in the last two pictures are clearly copied from a Panzerbeschusstafel, also they show areas of Allied tanks, which could be penetrated or are sensitive to a given weapon.

Hi Jos,

It is a wonderfull picuture, true thanks for sharing it. I can't figure out of the embrasure a Regelbau 667 but I would bet on a Doppelschartenstand.

Kr,
Arthur
