The Tiger I was a German heavy tank developed in 1937 by Henschel & Sohn when the Waffenamt requested Henschel to develop a Durchbruchwagen, this would result into the Durchbruchwagen I which would never be fitted with a turret and was replaced by the Durchbruchwagen II after the request for a heavier 30-tonne class vehicle with thicker armour. The project was dropped in 1938 in favor of the larger and better-armoured VK 30.01 (H) and VK 36.01 (H), these vehicles would use the complex over-engineered Schachtellaufwerk track suspension system of torsion bar-sprung, overlapped and interleaved main road wheels, which would later become problematic when jamming solid in the winter. Four prototype hulls were completed for testing. Two of these were later modified to build the "Sturer Emil" self-propelled anti-tank guns. In 1941 with the experience of the Battle of France, Henschel and Ferdinand Porsche were asked to submit designs for a 45-tonne heavy tank, to be ready by June 1942. Porsche worked on an updated version of their VK 30.01 (P) Leopard tank prototype while Henschel worked on an improved VK 36.01 (H) tank. Henschel built two prototypes: a VK 45.01 (H) H1 with an 8.8 cm L/56 cannon, and a VK 45.01 (H) H2 with a 7.5 cm L/70 cannon. Porsche and Henschel submitted prototype designs, each making use of the Krupp-designed turret. The Henschel design was accepted, mainly because the Porsche VK 4501 (P) prototype design used a troubled petrol-electric transmission system. Production of the Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. H began in August 1942. The tank was given its nickname "Tiger" by Ferdinand Porsche, and the Roman numeral was added after the Tiger II entered production. The initial designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H was re-designated as PzKpfw VI Ausf. E in March 1943. The Tiger was still at the prototype stage when it was first hurried into service, and therefore changes both large and small were made throughout the production run. A redesigned turret with a lower cupola was the most significant change. To cut costs, the river-fording submersion capability and an external air-filtration system were dropped. It would first see action near Leningrad on 23 Sep. 1942 months earlier than had been planned. A platoon of 4 Tigers went into action, they could not operate in swampy, forested terrain, their movement was largely confined to roads and tracks, also many of these early models were plagued by problems with the transmission and many broke down, the Soviets also captured one Tiger largely intact, it enabled the Soviets to study the design and prepare countermeasures. In the North African Campaign, the Tiger I first saw action during the Tunisian Campaign on 1 December 1942 east of Tebourba. The tanks proved that they had excellent protection from enemy fire, this greatly increased the crews trust in the quality of the armour, the crews also found the tank to be spacious and comfortable. The Tiger proved to have great armament and was a outstanding design for its time, its armour which was resistant to tank and anti-tank guns of the time. and the 88 could knock out enemy Sherman tanks at 2,100 m and the T-34 at 1500 m, but with Allied tanks becoming more up-armored and upgraded and having better guns like the M3 90 mm cannon used on the M36 tank destroyer, made the Tiger vastly obsolete in the end.

By the end of the War, more than 60 Stuart tanks were destroyed or damaged. On several of these damaged tanks, the turrets were removed and Partisan engineers decided to try to mount some captured German weapons, to be used as improvised self-propelled guns with increased firepower. On some damaged tanks, the tank turret was removed and in its place, a new modified gun platform was fitted. The upper structure mounted the 7.5cm PaK 40 anti-tank gun with its twin layer gun shield of 4mm thick steel and a small armor plate (there is no information on its thickness) between the gun and the tank hull. They were used at the end of March 1945 in the area of Drenovača (Дреновача) against German positions. Then, on the 27th and 28th of April 1945, near Ilirska Bistrica. There is little information on the precise participation and loses of the Partisan Stuart PaK version.

Orginally uplouded 5 may 2021 The Panther was a German medium tank developed in 1938 out of a project to replace the Panzer III and IV called the VK 20 series and design proposals were send in by Krupp, Daimler Benz and MAN. The VK20 design was abandoned as the requirements increased to a vehicle weighing 30 tonnes after he German army encountered the Soviet T-34 and KV-1 tanks. This would lead to the VK 30.02(DB) design, which would resemble the T-34 in hull and turret and i would also be powered by a diesel engine. The two designs were reviewed from January to March 1942. The MAN design embodied a more conventional configuration, with the transmission and drive sprocket in the front and a centrally mounted turret and the Daimler-Benz design was viewed to be superior to MAN's design. But because the MAN design used an existing turret designed by Rheinmetall-Borsig, and a mild steel prototype of the MAN design was produced by September 1942 and, after testing at Kummersdorf, it would be officially accepted. In January 1943 MAN produced the first production series Panther Ausf.D tank. It would be called the Panzerkampfwagen V Panther until 27 February 1944, when it was ordered that the Roman numeral "V" be deleted. The early Panther tanks were eventually send back in April through May 1943 for a major rebuilding program, because of major breakdowns. The first 250 Panthers were powered by a Maybach HL 210 P30 V-12 petrol engine, late versions would have got the Maybach HL 230 P30 V-12 petrol engine, but these first engines were plagued with mechanical problems. The engine was dangerously prone to overheating and suffered from connecting rod or bearing failures. Petrol leaks from the fuel pump and fuel-lines were also a problem and would produced fires in the engine compartment, this problem was never really solved and the Panther was the actual real Ronson tank. The Panther would see action with the Panzer Abteilung 51 on 9 January, and then Panzer Abteilung 52 on 6 February 1943, It would be seen as a necessary component of Operation Citadel, but the attack was delayed several times because of their mechanical problems, the same problems came back in the Battle of Kursk. Later versions of the Panther would be the A and G, and the last version was the F which would never see any action. Many features of the Ausf.D like the drum-shaped commander’s cupola and the thin rectangular hull machine gun port were still present on early production Ausf.A Panthers. They only changed mid production and not at the same time. Other modifications were introduced during the production run. Ausf.D and Ausf.A tanks were also upgraded with different features once they had been issued to a Panzer Division when they went to a maintenance or repair unit. Some changes to the Early and Late A tanks were changes to the turret and the gun mantle on the Ausf.A turret was wider than the one fitted to the older Ausf.D, the shape of the cast turret side had changed to a dish shape protrusion to fit the new seal for the gun mantle, three pistol ports were removed to make the armour stronger and of course the round drum like commander’s cupola, which would be replaced by a new dome shaped cast armor commander’s cupola. and in late November 1943 a ball mount Kugelblende with a spherical armoured guard was introduced onto the front glacis plate.

During the German attack on France from May and June 1940, several guns, tanks and infantry weapons were captured. The fact is that in 1940 the French army had strong medium and heavy tanks in service that were generally well to very well armoured. Some of the French tanks and armored tractors, like the Lorraine 37L, were converted into self-propelled guns. One was fitted with an 7.5 cm PaK 40 anti-tank gun and the other with an artillery howitzer, like the 10.5cm leFH 18/40 and the 15 cm sFH 13/1 in 1942. A major advantage of mechanized guns was the fact that mobility increased and horses could be dispensed with. The vehicle was not very well armored. Not only the Lorraine Schlepper was used for this project, but the FCM the H39 were also used. The Geschützwagen Lorraine Schlepper were deployed in Africa and in Normandy in June 1944. They were assigned to the Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 200 (part of the 21. Panzer-Division). Some examples were in service with the 8th Panzerartillerie Abteilung.

Rare WW2 Unic P107 Leichter Schutzenpanzer Flak 38 - leSPW U304(f) footage. In the 1920s and 1930s Citroën developed a long line of half-tracks based on the Kégresse patent. In 1937, the company introduced its newest and more powerful P107 model as a successor to the Citroën-Kégresse P17. But before mass production could take place, Citroën went bankrupt and its new owner, Michelin, chose to focus on the civilian markets. Unic was therefore able to acquire a license for the Kégresse patent, and took over the production of the P107. The first order was made in 1935. Two main variants of the P107 were accepted in French military service. After the fall of France the Germans used these captured half-tracks extensively under the name leichter Zugkraftwagen 37 U304(f) to tow various anti-tank guns. Major Alfred Becker of the 21. Panzerdivision suggested converting captured French vehicles. He ordered the conversion of available Unic half-tracks into leichter Schützenpanzerwagen. There were two forms of this anti-aircraft modification. The first had an unarmoured cabin. The main weapon was moved in front of the combat area. Since it was an emergency reconstruction and was not ideal, the second version was created, which already had an armored driver's cab. The main weapon of this vehicle was an anti-aircraft cannon 2 cm Flak38 placed in the middle of the combat area and this location allowed to rotate the cannon 360 °.

U.S. Army engineers sweep for mines around one of the Panther tanks knocked out along the St. Lo-Periers road by the Cobra bombing. GIs clamber over the Panther for a closer look. It is not clear if this Panther was knocked into the ditch by bombing or shoved off a road by tractors. A view of the same Panther from the other side reveals that the bomb attack penetrated the upper-right corner of the hull armor.

In the first part of 1943, the Army began flirting with a two-piece (jacket and pants) herringbone twill (HBT) camouflage uniform. Now, one thing to note is that this differed from the Marine HBT “duck hunter” or “frog skin” camo that was introduced around the time of the invasion of Tarawa as the Devil Dog kit was based on their P41 design while the Army’s was a slightly different variant based on Big Green’s M1942 fatigue uniform. These two-piece camouflage uniforms were fielded by units of the 2nd Armored Division, including the 41st Armored Infantry Regiment and 17th Armored Engineer Battalion for D-Day.

During the German attack on France from May and June 1940, several guns, tanks and infantry weapons were captured. The fact is that in 1940 the French army had strong medium and heavy tanks in service that were generally well to very well armoured. Some of the French tanks and armored tractors, like the Lorraine 37L, were converted into self-propelled guns. One was fitted with an 7.5 cm PaK 40 anti-tank gun and the other with an artillery howitzer, like the 10.5cm leFH 18/40 and the 15 cm sFH 13/1 in 1942. A major advantage of mechanized guns was the fact that mobility increased and horses could be dispensed with. The vehicle was not very well armored. Not only the Lorraine Schlepper was used for this project, but the FCM the H39 were also used. The Geschützwagen Lorraine Schlepper were deployed in Africa and in Normandy in June 1944. They were assigned to the Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 200 (part of the 21. Panzer-Division). Some examples were in service with the 8th Panzerartillerie Abteilung.

In January 1944, it was ordered that all Panzer III returned for overhaul be converted to Berg.Pz.Wg. III. The production plan called for fifteen to be converted in March, thirty in April and thirty in May. These vehicles were to be used with the Panzerbergeanker recovery Sd. Ah 40. This larger anchor was placed at an appropriate location, and the Bergepanzer pulled the vehicle to be recovered, via a reduction tackle attached by cable to the anchor. A large wooden box body was mounted on top of the former fighting compartment. A derrick crane, like that on the Bergepanther, was provided with mounting locations on the rear engine covers. The wide Oskett tracks were generally used. The vehicles were issued to the Workshop Company of the Panzer detachments equipped with the Panzer IV or Sturmgeschütz III or IV. In February 1945, 130 Bergepanzer III were listed as available.
