Seelow Heights / Re: Seelow Heights 64

Great map and all, but just curious and no harm intended, but what's the reasoning behind Jagdpanther on Seelow Heights? Tiger II is ok (in a sense, Tiger I would be historically more accurate), but why Jagdpanther when the most nearby JP unit was located in the northern Germany?

I always enjoy the picture of the day! Where do you find such gems?

Happy to hear! Pictures come from various sources, from own collection (books, photographs), fellow collectors, archives (NARA, ECPAD, TsAMO, museums...), misc WWII groups and such.

Yup, there were no factory-issued StuG IVs with coaxial. Even with the late production StuG III Ausf. G, only a part of delivered vehicles were equipped with a coaxial MG.

There are plenty more at ECPAD archives ;) They are just not categorized that well, but thanks to my French connection...

Marder I auf Geschutzwagen Lorraine Schlepper(f).

Trivia-bit: As a safety precaution, the driver had to dismount while the Pak was being fired (as the decking was only 3.5 mm thick). Refer: Panzer Tracts 7-2, the French Tank Museum
