Stug III ausf A, Sdkfz 250, Lorraine, civilian car, SiG 33? Or is it a French artygun?

Not sIG 33, perhaps a French 105mm? Seth?





Quote
"The shatterproof glass on a hatch of the driver-mechanic... was made from wretched yellow or green plexiglass, which produced a completely distorted, waving view. To identify something through such safety glass, especially in a jolting tank, was impossible. Thus, the war was fought with slightly open hatches."

Yes, well done. I think even most historians would fail to spot that StuG III Ausf. A.





3./Panzer-Regiment "Hermann Göring" in Sicily, July 1943.
Spoiler
"HG" claimed the destruction of 56 Allied tanks for the loss of 4 x StuG and 3 x StuH, whereas 17 x Tigers from 2./s.Pz.Abt 504, attached to the "HG", were nearly all destroyed between 11-14 July after claiming approx. 16 Allied tanks.

Seth - that's a second Pz.Slf.IV within a month. A hint, perhaps? Belarus map coming up? Stalingrad?  :o

A column of knocked out Kangaroos of 'F' Squadron, 49APCR. Winterswijk, 30 March 1945.
Spoiler
"A total of eight Kangaroos were destroyed, as well as a Stuart Tank that was leading the column. First disabling the leading Stuart, then the rearmost Kangaroo. The column of armour, traveling on a raised roadbed near the village of Winterswijk, was picked off one by one by a lone StuG III Ausf. G. Only one Kangaroo in the column managed to escape.
The British Kangaroo Regiment had just added a third fighting Squadron of Kangaroos the week before, converting 52nd Royal Tank Regiment to ‘F’ Squadron 49APCR.
It was the inexperienced troop’s first taste of combat which resulted in one Kangaroo crewman killed (Cpl. Webber) as well as several infantrymen of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry. Some burned alive in the disabled Kangaroos."

Technically 1 image ;D but really a sequence of images showing the progress of the USS Yorktown (CV-5) during the Battle of Midway 78 years ago today.
