German weapons in action.

Dunno.

A very well know pic of the barbarossa campaing.

A video of the german view of the fight in the polish capital, with some clips of the Thor 600 mm howitzer.

in this excellent late-war ‘newsreel’, we see the Drilling 251 as you say - but the other 251 also has extra armour on top of the front and sides - it looks a bit like the armour on a 251/9, but there is no 75mm gun; does anyone know which 251 this is? It could be a Drilling (251/21) with the AA gun removed, but it doesn’t look quite right for that.

Thanks for posting that one up - we were all fascinated by it here at work :slight_smile:

Not sure about that SdKfz, it colud be a field improvisation due tha war situation in germany at that time.

Wish I had that Luger in the Barbarossa pic.
He’s carrying mg-34 or 42 belts for back-up for the mg in tow that is not seen I presume.

Mg-34 for sure, the Mg-42 was not in service at that time.
