Re: Zitadelle Armor: German T-34 & captured equip.; tanks & SPG

Hello, You're both correct, I use this NATO-like tactical symbols, because they are fewer and simple than the German ones, and also to have the same kind of symbols employed, by the Axis and the Allies. Making a easy way to compare the opposing forces in a map and other documents. In a theater of op...

Re: Zitadelle Armor: German T-34 & captured equip.; tanks & SPG

With the recapture of Kharkov in March of 1943, by II.SS-Panzer Corps, were taken as Beutepanzers, about 50 T-34/76, to Das Reich were given 25, and to Totenkopf, 22 tanks. Seems that only DR, used them in Kursk. Between 12-20 operational tanks. (What happened to Totenkopf's T-34?) There is some evi...

Re: The Sd. Kfz. 234 Thread!!!

Thanks. During my researches on Sd.Kfz. 234/2, i found numerous doubtful Pumas, made from some model manufacturers, that make me think, that sometimes they bring some confusion. For example, I saw a model of Puma, from IX.SS Panzer Division “Hohenstaufen”, turret number: Red 1111. It seems, the famo...

Re: The Sd. Kfz. 234 Thread!!!

What else was the Flak 38 schwebelafette installation used for? This installation was used on a variant of the Sd. Kfz. 251, the 251/17 Ausf. D w/2cm Schwebelafette, introduced in 1944.
