Nice one, thanks a lot.
That page is just great! Type "Panzer" in the search field and you´ll end up with the most interesting fotos, often with detailed information about units and locations, and a great quality!

Great photos Francy!!!
What do you make of that cabriolet? Looks like a Fiat or a Lancia but I thought most of them had RHD on the larger models.

No offence here, but this one looks like a fake.
The reason why I think it´s faked are:
1. the white star on the rearward 251 is higher than the original vehicle you cant see where the additional armor plate for the /9 conversion starts even though you can to the left and the right of the star
2. The mud in the foreground looks almost as if it was painted
3. the person´s shaddow is pretty strong near the feet, but almost invisible on the rubble on the left
4. The overall quality of the picture is very different: better on the house roof and worse on the on the vehicles.
5. Download the file to your computer and open it with the editor (for windows) or textedit (for mac) within the first 4 lines you´ll see: "File written by Adobe Photoshop® 4.0"
which means it was opened changed and afterwards saved with that picture editing software.

hope I don´t get bashed now :wink:

greets, ekke

Hello, two pictures from the book 'La Bataille des Ardennes' of Taghon/Bernard/Gheysen.
A Sd.Kfz 251/9 at Rahier and used by the 1st Bat of the 504 Regiment.
And a Sd.Kfz 250/1 used by US troops in the St Vith area.
No photoshop in these cases :) .
Cheers.
Patrice.
