Hans Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 May 1945 With desparate shortages of men and tanks an ad hoc Panzer Grenadier kampgruppe prepares to counter-attack. Leutnant, "okay does anyone have any weapons we could use? Hey see if that farmer over there will lend us his shovel for the next attack" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfish Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Note the open aperture in the front quarter panel where the foot operated Pak43 would have normally been mounted. In this example it looks like they removed the gun and went some kind of jury-rigged flamethrower. Must have been desperate times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParaBellum Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Looks like one of those popular "How many Panzergrenadiers can get into a Fiat"-Guinness book records. Not very impressive, though. PS: These guys look like the Wehrmacht's version of "Kelly's Heroes"... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobal2 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 (as a totally irrelevant side note, I recently learnt the meaning of the english idiom "riding shotgun". I found it highly amusing, since in France, that seat is called "la place du mort" (literally : dead man's seat)) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
