It's a Czech tank, no doubt. It may be one of the prototypes for trials before being admitted in Romanian Army service.

It is Czech Škoda T-21 tank, successor of LT vz.35(Romanian "R-2").

Hungary bought its production licence, and made midium tank Turán.
It is very similar to Turán, but have angled turret rear and no side hatchs.

And yet another tank ID question... is this a Romanian T4 ?

Many thanks (again),

Alex

PS - picture from my own collection, of course.

Yes could be romanian Pz IV or T 4. But unfortunately we can`t see anny cross romanian or german, so we can`t say much.
Do you know anny details about the place picture was taken ?

Unfortunately no, but these guys sure do look like Romanian tank troops IMO.

Beside romanian troops, the type looks like an Pz IV- H or J model and the season looks like summer.
99% probability to be romanian Pz-IV on moldavian front in summer '44. rolleyes.gif
