An armoured car on the Ostfront, 1941. It's origin isn't German, now guess where this heavy beast came from  :)




@Flippy, pityfull he only shows pictures of captured material in German service, he has a link to a lend-lease site but that one is down.

If you come up with a picture of Soviet used Churchill tanks on the Isthmus (they participated in the battle of Viipuri for example), be sure to post them!
I couldn't find that one but I think you will find this interesting too. These are a KV-1 and a T34-76 in Viipuri on June 20th 1944. However there is a little story behind them, look at the cupola's. Those are German. That means these where first captured by Fritz on the Ostfront, modified, send back to the front and then re-captured by the Soviets who re-painted them and send them to the front at Viipuri!

I also posted the same pic in old forums which shows the whole IS-2. ;) Way shittier quality than yours thought:



Good night nevertheless. Keep going and you will find the Churchills somewhere. ;)
