It's my first post here, so I want to welcome everybody.

I'm looking for info on Romanian Panzer IVJ's used in autumn 1944 against Germans.
I saw in Polish book (Militaria series no 147) a color profile of a tank with number 421 with description that it was a J version, but profile looks to me as a H (driver side visor). Tank on this profile is dunkelgelb overall with exception of a turret shurtzen which are dunkelgelb with olive patches.

My question: Is it really a J version or tank number 421 was a H? Have you a photo of Romanian PzIVJ with olive patches?

Hello Jarek,

The cammo scheme looks similar to a photo of T-4 number 411, a Panzer IV H delivered by the 23rd Panzer Division, in the summer of 1944.

A correction to the profile: Detaşamentul blindat general Niculescu (the Armored Detachment General Niculescu) did not participate in the operations in Hungary, being disbanded on 28 September 1944.

Hi Jarek,

Do you know if the author of rom. PzIV color profile (from the Polish book) used an original picture ?

As said Ruy in Photos of Romanian tanks in Moravia'45 post:
"It contains the following photos: a M3 and a SU-76 destroyed in Lanzhot, two photos of Soviet 122 howitzers M 1938 firing against German positions, two shots of US-made M-16 AA mount on half-tracks; there's also a photo of a destroyed Romanian Pz.IV Ausf.J."
And sorry I don't read czech wink.gif
As soon as I have new picture on romanian armor, I post it in this forum smile.gif

The first T-IV drawing is seen in mirror.
It should be like the one beneath it.

However you did a very good job.

I made the correction for you.

I think it's better the star should be "Khaky" to match better the veterans descriptions and the color paint used in romanian units.
