One can only imagine what veteran P-51 pilots thought when they saw this on the big screen! Those markings are horrendous and unconvincing to say the least.

patches Posted March 15, 2022 Share #130 Posted March 15, 2022 A Column from the 11th Panzer Division with a Captured Jeep in the lead, Southern France, probably in the summer of 44 when the 11th Pz Div was rebuilding, it was virtually destroyed in the Cherkassy Pocket on the Russian Front in the late winter of 44. It's possible the Jeep could be a captured Lend Lease Russian one they wee able bring back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted April 3, 2022 Share #132 Posted April 3, 2022 A Fahnenjunker of the 110th Panzer Grenadier Regiment 11th Panzer Division takes cover behind a capture American M4 Tank, ah sometime we think in the fall of 1944 Saarland, then the M4 Tank is of the U.S. 3rd Army. Interested to know if the captured tank seen later use by the Germans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normandy1944 Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share #133 Posted April 20, 2022 Here's (probably) a Normandy related one. A captured stuart with the famous hedgerow cutter in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted April 27, 2022 Share #134 Posted April 27, 2022 Germany sometime 1945. A shot of a Hetzer we know, unit unknown, but look what's in the background, a U.S.Halfrack, though it could be an abandoned one, to me it looks like it might be in use by the Germans, if you zoom in on it seems not to be knockout and seems to have a mottled camo job à la German.

patches Posted June 16, 2022 Share #136 Posted June 16, 2022 A Sherman with Zimmerit, don't know the story on this, like if the tank was captured by the Germans and given a coat of the paste at the unit level, and recaptured by us down the line, or some kind of thing done by us for whatever reason, maybe trials????, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted June 26, 2022 Share #137 Posted June 26, 2022 A Captured M3 Stuart of the 1st Armored Division in Africa, you can make out two Germans there on the left, this tank was captured early on in December 1942 during the first forays into Tunisia from Algeria.

Yes, my thought is these FJ are either in the Hermann Goering Division as there was a Parachute unit transferred permanently to the Brigade Hermann Göring in 1942, Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 5, which was redesignated Jäger Regiment Hermann Göring when the unit was being expanded to a full division, and some of these guys may have kept their jump helmets and jump smocks. if not the these are of the 1. Fallschirm Division and got the SS smocks from HG stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linedoggie Posted October 5, 2022 Share #149 Posted October 5, 2022 On 2/19/2022 at 11:07 PM, patches said: One more in Africa Horrible movie with Lloyd Bridges as a fanatic panzer unit commander McClure is attached to a British unit to bomb a minefield (god only knows) and his P-40 (which of course has a sharksmouth) has a bomb rack and the RAF P-40 does not. The RAF P-40 is shot down but McClure saves the pilot. Bridges is a movie fanatic nazi who hunts Doug McClure across the desert. He massacres the survivors of a British unit, McClures P-40 can only hop for short distances and taxis to friendly lines. I remember one of the panzer crewman played Richie Brockelman PI which was a Rockford Files spinoff without a doubt a totally horrible TV movie even for the 1970's The Sherman However is mentionable since Besides being an M4A3E8 76(W) it has the rarer circular D94598 split hatch as loaders hatch rather than the oval one more commonly seen.
