More posible Yellow.  you forgot that it is certain proof about yellow strip on other rom tanks (R-35 Vanator de care ). Why should be light blue strip ?  This post has been edited by Cantacuzino on January 16, 2008 07:34 pm |

On the www.cartula.ro/forum there is a hot debate if this are Pz 38 with Romanian markings or not ?! The lateral cross looks like Romanian's one or not ?!

Tank number "714" seems to be carrying a swastika air recognition flag to the rear of the turret, possibly indicating they are German (unless Romanian tank units carried the same flags to aid the German Luftwaffe in identification??)
Or is the flag on another vehicle parked at the side of the road and the tanks are passing them? Kevin in Deva.  This post has been edited by New Connaught Ranger on January 23, 2008 08:47 am |

Indeed there seems to be a flag with a swastika. BUT lets concentrate on the crosses !! There is a odd similaritie with the King Michael Cross, insn't it ?!

Indeed, the side crosses look like Rumanian ones.
I wouldn't put too much emphasys on the German flag on the rear engine of the tank(s), as if they advanced in an area where German aircraft were operating it's much clever to carry a flag which is well known to them, than to risk being bombed in error... Gen. Dénes |

713 and 714 seems to be German tank numbers as illustrated by the decals of this model kit:

I know that not all of the tanks/armor was painted in camo, for ex. captured ft-17 were painted in panzer gray and they served to protect various objectives that could be a target to partisans. Altho, i`m not sure the tanks are "new" , because the tanks have round turret,the default one producet by Renault. After ww1 the turret was replaced with the Berliet type turret, wich was octogonal ( named after Berliet factory, which produced cars and vans) . Remember that Ro had some ft-17`s during ww1. |

The two tank commanders have black uniforms, the Romanian uniforms were kaki and it's impossible to tell if the crosses are Romanian or not as the cockade is not visible, the picture is too grainy.

They are germans Pz38 for sure. Another mistake from the same site was with the picture ( below) where a german Pz 38 is also wrong indentified as been romanian. The white german crosses in blurry pictures looks like the white romanian crosses.  |

The 713 and 714 also do not make sense, because the T-38 battalion only had 3 companies: 51st, 52nd and 53rd (IIRC). |
