During the recent unpleasantness, I signed onto a forum that my son is a member. Someone posted a question as to what tank it was that he had some photos. I theorized that it might be a Pzkfp Mk I Ausf. B in service during Spanish Civil War. Anybody guess?

| Flakpanzer 38(t) Ausf.L Gepard, SdKfz.140
It's based on the Skoda 38(t) chassis.

I was there 3 years ago and it´s a really nice museum. They even have Merkava and this is the only museum except of Israel that has this tank.
