Aah fixed, thanks for letting me know. Have done that on a few occasions, I thought the swastikas are an absolute no-no here

Someone can correct me, but I think only in this thread, since it's all about historical photos etc...

Also, is that captured 7TP being used in the Polish campaign? I see the solid white cross on the hatch. Is the photo from '39?

My Pic


There's some debate as to whether this tank belongs to 7th or 9th Guards Brigade, but it was taken in Berlin. The circle next to the '-2' is where you can tell. 2 circles would make it from 7th Guards, 3 circles would make it 9th Guards. I've seen a few books/ websites call it both.

It is also the tank our T-34/85 texture is based on :D and PointBlank made it with 2 circles and removed the slogan.

Swastikas are forbidden in some countries like Germany, but never in historical context (i.e. posting a photograph) afaik.

I always liked how the Soviets painted slogans in their tanks, it looks so crude yet very cool to look at.
