I think this is an awesome tankette. Czech P-I Tankette!

Sorry for posting 2 pictures today but does anyone know what this vehicle is and what the story behind it is? Looks like a Gestapo guy and on first sight it looks like a Willys but it isn't.

A Greek tankette, captured from the Italians during the Greco-Italian war (1940-41). It reads "The Avenger of Elli" (the Greek cruiser sunk by an Italian submarine months before the declaration of war).


And another one because greek soldiers are cool



Two Greek soldiers relocating their obsolete St. Etienne machine guns during the Greco-Italian war (1940-41).

I wouldn't call that an obsolete machine gun, considering its just your generic heavy MG, like the british vickers or russian/finnish maxims.  Hell, even the US was still using water cooled 30cal MGs in 1945 and into the Korean War.  There's a huge difference between old and obsolete.  A single shot breechloader is obsolete.  But a G98 or Berthair in WW2 is just old, not obsolete.

Yeah but, CopyPasta  ;D
