Either huh?

http://armorfortheages.com/MilitaryVehicles/PzKpfwII/PzKpfwII.html

This has been also mentioned in few books and booklets on the topic (Panzerwrecks or such), I'll see what I can find.

"Huh," would be a good way to put it. I'm curious how the distinguished unit citation would manifest itself as that, when the ribbon looks very different. Although the Executive Order states that;

Quote
An appropriate streamer, emblem, or guidon band, of such form and design as may be determined by the Secretary of War, may be displayed by the organization, unit, detachment, or installation described above, to which such citation is issued.

Would be interested to read more documentation of where that emblem/ insignia comes from.

That yellow circle on the PzII hull is an addition by the Rangers I guess? I wonder it's significance.

It's a Presidential Unit Citation, earned by the 1st Rangers.

Do you have any more info on where you found that? It's hard to see how a presidential unit citation of a blue rectangle with a gold border would translate to that circle with stripes.

Someone on missing lynx suggested it's an 18th Infantry Regiment marking with the 1st ID, but that doesn't seem to make sense either.

That's a cool photo, going to post it on the discord for ppl. True color photos are hard to find, can still see the dunkelgrau underneath. That yellow circle on the PzII hull is an addition by the Rangers I guess? I wonder it's significance.

Wonderful render!

Let's give one last salute to this amazing gun by McGibbs that served us well for more than a decade;



But now we make way for the new guard, which is so incredible looking and makes my favorite SMG in FH2 that much more fun to use. 8)

Just out of curiosity, what's this Dago character?

one of the FH2 players that's been around a while. and in the theme of this thread, I'll describe he and Redbadd's relationship in song;

Anyone ever seen this device on a Panzer I before? (Taken in Warsaw 1939 after the battle). 

I assume it’s some antenna fitting for a radio, but the Panzer isn’t a befehlswagen and I’ve never seen it before.

that website has a whole series if anyone wants to have a look. http://wraki39.pobitwie.pl/index.php?/search/1720 first time seeing anything like it

On the discord someone suggested rails for a fascine, which is interesting.

The number (I09) is a 'command' number afaik and one of the captions says "Z.Art.Rgt.53.001 # 055 Photo soldiers Art.Rgt.53 at destroyed armored tank in WARSAW Poland 1939." So I wondered if maybe that was antenna added on as a way to back fit an Fu 6 transmitter to the Aus B chassis and maybe it's a tank for forward artillery spotting.

Not sure tho.

Liquid refreshment for the crew of a Panzer II. The name of a crewmember killed in action has been painted on the rear of the turret of the tank. This was relatively common practice early in the war, and it was also done in prewar years to denote comrades killed in training accidents. The crewmembers have also “misplaced” their beret/crash helmet combinations for a traditional French “Basque” cap, which features a national insignia and a “skull” from collar-tab insignia. This practice was also occasionally encountered—as long as it received the countenance of the chain of command—since the beret/crash helmet was almost universally disliked.

Thanks! That's super interesting, first time I've heard that.

there is some writing on the back of that Panzer II, but I can't make out what it says.
