@atakiguchi Technically an Early G, not F2. F1 & F2 were designations that were quickly dropped. All long barrel “F” were reclassified as “G”

The Sonderanhänger 116 was a relatively sophisticated trailer with a rear carriage that could be independently steered by an operator for maneuvering in tight spaces

It would also be removed for tanks to mount and dismount

1939年後半～末の演習にて。Ⅳ号戦車C型を2台のSd.Kfz.9が回収する(コマ11の時点では1台だけが引っ張っている模様)。壕を越えるための急造橋が用意されているが危なっかしく見える。

引用元と同じシェフラー Gerhard Scheffler のアルバム、フイルム26から。

35mmのベタ焼きをたくさん貼りこんだアルバムが出てくることがある。正直内容を見切れないので放置してしまう。しかし、稀にこんなのが紛れ込んでいて油断できない。シェフラー Gerhard Scheffler のアルバム(Nr.5とあるが自分は持っているのはこれだけ)から、架橋資材を運搬するⅠ号戦車。

@rhys_engel @Tank_Archives Both designs were by Krupp. Porsche and Henschel had nothing to do with turret production or design.

@twelveline_bloc @Tank_Archives Tiger II knocked out in Le Plessis Grimoult, Normandy, on August 7 1944. Supposedly destroyed when ammuntion truck resupplying it was hit by British mortar.

虎や「象」を牽引するのは大変。第653重戦車猟兵大隊所属のフェルディナントが損傷し、5台の18トンハーフトラックのお世話になっている。これだけ開けた土地、敵機に見つかったら虎の子のSd.Kfz.9も複数損失になってしまいそう。くわばらくわばら。
