Dutch  L-180 Landsverk armored Command Car captured by German Forces.






DAF M39 in Poland. (Dutch-made Vehicles all captured unharmed by the Germans).
These vehicle where supposed the best, the dutch had to offer.

With a topspeed of 75 km/h,A 37 mm Bofors cannon and 3 extra lewis guns, gave it good specifications for there time. 13 where build and while the Germans attacked in may 1940 they where on the moves towards Rotterdam, they never came in time. non survived the war :(.

You can see this is a German He-111 captured and re-purposed with USAAF markings.  Picture is more than likely modern, but the caption says this was shot down and converted during the war.

This Heinkel, a He 111H-20/R1 paratroop transport was acquired by the USAAF in May 1945, it now resides in the RAF Museum Hendon, one of a handful of complete, original He 111's worldwide.

The history of the aircraft:

I have no idea where or when, but it looks recent.


Chile, the Sherman is an M51.

Since I sayed weapons, this is what I came across today, should make you guys happy!:

Members of the Civilian Auxilliary Forces Geographical Unit, a militia group under the command of the Philippine Army, leave their detachment guarding a small village for a routine foot patrol near the provincial capitol of southern Maguindanao province on the eve of national and local elections on May 9, 2010. Armed with World War II-era M-1 Garand rifles, the government militiamen are helping to secure the elections amid intense rivalry among candidates that has made politics a bloodsport in the Philippines.

I'm tempted to take it, then restore it :/

Good luck getting that tank out of London Plan your escape route here

You'd be better off trying to steal the F1A from Jeermey Clarksons front lawn.
