    It is nothing like a Pz-2 or the T-40 that was still in service in Leningrad in 1944 - it requires unique ammunition, it is unreliable, it is heavy so requires transporters.

    Wiki says that 2 KV-2's were used by the Finns through the war and 1 was used by hte Germans vs US troops in 1945 - maybe he attacked one of those? :rolleyes:

    Pz-3's were still being BUILT in 1943 - their use at Kursk is not surprising in the least, while Pz 2's were used as training and recce tanks - the last was BUILT in 1944!! One or more still working in 1945 is not surprising either.

    Krupp had a KV II defending it's factory in 1945.

  3. The US Army captured it's Elefant at Anzio reportedly..What unit did they capture it from? What was the Jagdpanzer unit's history for the rest of the campaign/war?

    Says the last Elefants were used at Zossen/Battle for Berlin..Was this the same unit that fought at Anzio?

    Is there a good history for the Elefants deployment post-kursk(Ferdis).

    working on a 1/35 kit at the moment, and thinking of doing a small Diorama..but not sure where to have the Elefant

  4. Ep IV Replacements.

    one of the best IMO, very action packed.

    although the 251/22 didn't exist at the time of Market Garden IIRC. I still love the faux StuG. they did a good job on the mock-up.

    What town where they storming with XXX corp?

    Son was attacked by 107th Panzer Brigade from Aachen(Panther tanks and Jagdpanzer IVs or other Self-Propelled guns) against elements of the 101st and XXX Korp, but IIRC that was the 502nd asigned to take and hold the bridge at Son.

    9th and 10th SS were at Nijmegen and Arnhem giving the 1st Airbourne and 82nd AB divisions grief.

    I can't think of the rest of the KGs/Divisions the germans had along the route to Arnhem..eh.need to break out CloseCombat 2 again.
