Tank photos

it's a german panzer 4. it's german, look at the chevron on the left side and at the helmet posted on the turret - it's a german helmet, not a french model with which the romanian army was fighting. none of the german panthers captured by romanian soldiers were functional. they had a system which rendered them useless after being knoked out or bogged in mud. an explosive charge destroys all the equipment inside the turret, all the gauges, etc...

The tank is a Czech 35(t) also known as Lz35, produced by the Czechs firm Skoda, large amounts were captured by the Germans, and it was also produced by the firm under German occupation.

thanks for info, but I have the book "Der Panzerkampfwagen 35 (t)" by Joachim Baschin
and the book speaks about pz35t or R2 in rumanian service
I think that the tanker look like romanian, michael cross, number identification on turret.

Hallo Nox,

The tank in the picture, is indeed is being used by Rumanians, but it was originaly made in the Skoda factory in Czechaslovakia, these were captured by the Germans and also produced in the factory under German management in WW2

The original Czech designation was: Lz35.

The German designation being: Pk35(t) for Panzerkampfwagen35(t).*

*(the (t) denotes Tecaslovakia, in the German language). And I have probably spelt it wrong too

But both refer to the same type of vehicle.

The crew member seams to wear a Romanian armoured troops uniform. The beret is typical Romanian.

In my opinion it’s a Romanian tank.

R1 from ebay

really nice

THis foto of R-1 is very nice.
But I wrote my experience honarly.
Recently,I have damage by heartless persons,The person make the reprodaction by use ebay images without copyguard like this scans.
The Other person in CANADA buy it via other auction,and The Other person offer a author of book that you can use the reprodaction in book.
I won the original foto in ebay Germany paied proper price.
I think that this act is unreasonable act but not illegal.
I think that We need to use scans of internet auction without winner permittion.

MIhai

I am agree with you mihai.
But the other person in CANADA, is that sudek13? his ebayer name?
This person buys photographs enormously, but no picture appears in a book, lost for the world!
If you want, you can wait publication with new pictures on romanian armor, or post some pictures when they are!

EBAY ID sudek is very famus person with keen eyes.He knowthings about Rumanian AFVs very well.
But The other person is in here.

MIhai

Now on sale on http://www.okazii.ro/catalog/3031113/obiec....html#div_photo



My oppinion is that the price asked for the image is too high. Seems that the prices for WWII photos have gone way to high for common buyers.
