OK ... there was no Pz38(t) in Africa , becouse engine cooling system was not reliable in temperature above 60* or something ... right .
But what with cooling system in Marder III ? ???

In short - Pz38(t) in Africa : to HOT !! ... Marder III in Africa - everything is  OK ...
Fuck Logic ? ;D

It might be that the need for strong anti-tank gun that can be moved around on a tank chassis was far higher than the need for a peashooter on a tank chassis.

Nah ... in term of fire power and armor , Pz38(t) was equall , if not better , than any british-made light or medium ( except of Matilda II  ;) ) tank in Africa , even  for M3 Stuart ... if we dont count that "little" problem with engine  ;D

Pz38t had brittle armour, would shatter even when hit with37mm guns.

Stalingrad 1942. Note the different wheel types on the T-34.


Edit:// I just realized that it is common on the T-34 to have rubber on the outer wheels only.

Petrol pipe for Operation PLUTO (Pipe Lines Under The Ocean) being wound onto a 'ConunDrum' pipe-laying device, June 1944.

Amazing feat of engineering, making an underwater pipeline in such a short time... This stretched all the way to the Rhine!

It's amazing how FH2's Omaha map resembles the real place.

Photo seems to be taken (long) after D-Day, and it appears to be one of the floating barges that the Allies used to conceive the temporary harbor at the beach, washed ashore.
