Panzers in action! - Aircraft of World War II

Soren · 09-26-2008, 06:14 PM

Ok guys, lets see some pictures of panzers in action!

Note: Only live action photos are allowed!

I'll start;

These two excellent photos show PzKpfw.V Panther's spearheading to clean a road (Picture taken from inside another Panther through the commanders target observation scope):

source please ?

funny, the foto came from a copy of the W-SS 5th Wiking

Verweht sind die Spuren, the II. Abteilung smashing Soviet T-34's on page 170 with the twon of Lublinez buring in the background. copyright date = 1979 Munin Verlag. It's obvious I own a copy right after it was first published .........

Source = my harddrive

I have a folder purely stacked with combat footage and photos, and those two pictures have been there for a loong loong time, three computer lifetimes infact, passed on from one generation of harddisk to the next

Very well camoflaged Panzer formation of the 2. SS-Panzer-Divison 'Das Reich' in Normandy, 1944. Can you spot them ??

Erich · 09-26-2008, 08:53 PM

well my young friend they are from the source I quoted along the lines of the II. Abteilung archiv's

your second set of pics is also well known belonging to the II.Abteilung working with one of it's sister Pz Grendadier units in pre-Normandie. Note the non-helmeted stab offiziers in the command halftrack. Soren I was interested greatly in the Waffen SS in the early 1960's before I jumped headlong into the LW

next........ ?

Well I don't know if I would call myself young anymore but I'll take that as compliment!

Here's a few more from the harddrive:

Soren, Erich means you need to source where you got the pictures from.

Soren · 09-26-2008, 09:18 PM

I know Adler, but that will be a problem since they're from the harddrive.

I have thousands of pictures in books I could show as-well, but I have no scanner. So unless the pictures are in the books I have I can't reference them. Sorry.

I don't have the two books Erich just mentioned, but the first two pictures are stunning so it might be worth the while to check them out.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 09-26-2008, 09:26 PM

Don't need to tell me that...

I could not source them to save my life.

parsifal · 09-26-2008, 11:33 PM

any objection to allied soviet, other nationality's armour in action being posted???

comiso90 · 09-26-2008, 11:42 PM

Great photos

parsifal · 09-27-2008, 12:05 AM

I dont think it will be problem to post non-german tanks. if it is, let me know soren.

Great photos BTW, but sourcing them is helpful

I will start with the italians. Source is from a little book i have had for years, WWII Tanks Orbis Publishing 1978. The original source for these photos is listed in the credits simply as Zennaro Rome (aphotographer i assume)

First Photo is of a L3 Flamethrower tank demosntrating it abilities in this role

2nd & 3rd photos are of M-13/40s during Rommels final drive into Egypt, June 1942

last Photo are Semovente in action during Alamein

Soren · 09-27-2008, 08:46 PM

It's OK Parsifal, great pics!
