Hungary 1945

Post by nacho » 12 Jun 2005, 14:51

Hello to all:
Recently I trade from a friend a russian book about the Lake Balaton battles, is full of new pics of German armour abandoned or destroyed (new to me obviously), including some unusual vehicles as bergehetzer or munitions carrier Wespe or hummel. As the book is written in russian i can't understand the text so please try to identify the following vehickes. I include the book's cover, maybe anyone know it.

Best regards

Russia has a great untapped resource of Eastern front images!

Numbers

I wonder if it is reasonable to assume that the numbers visible on the wrecks had been applied by the Soviets after the battle as consecutive numbers to count the wrecks on the battlefield? If so, there is lot more to be expected from their sources!

Great threat indeed, thanx for sharing!

Yes Matthias, the numbers are painted by the Russian wreck recovery forces, and I guess that we can expect more images from eastern Europe, only in this book there's about 40-50 pics new to me, Impressive!
