Sir-Cato Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Is it a russian T-34 (probably wrong)if so why has it got german markings on the front?. The Germans had a habit of taking working allied equipment and using it.

Ken B Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 my ex father in law tells me that during his racing career he buried many of the old anglia's he raced and had finished with on his fathers farm herei n the Fens. I wonder if they would come out looknig as good as that after 30 years???
2.8i Cossie Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Is it a russian T-34 (probably wrong)if so why has it got german markings on the front?. The Germans had a habit of taking working allied equipment and using it. Yip, the germans used to send penal regiments behind enemy lines to carry out recon trips and report back. Given that these guys had little or no morals they used every method possible to get back home. Once back across into their own lines they would 'adopt' the tanks as they had seen them safely home. Also on night missions it would easily be mistaken for a russian tank. A lot of interesting literature on this subject. One of the best novel series was written by an austrian soldier called Sven Hassel. His books are based on his and his friends experiences. sorry if that sounds nerdish but the subject is very interesting
