fesm_ndt Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Sort of carrying on from this, anyone know of any captured allied vehicles that were recaptured from axis forces and survive. Understand it would be a very long shot but. http://www.ww2incolor.com/us-armor/sherman-75-08.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvis48 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Photo of my father who was in the RAF with captured car, June 1945, Barduvoss Norway. Can anyone identify? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtskull Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) It appears to have lost the three-pointed star from its radiator cap, nevertheless I am pretty certain that the car is the ubiquitous Mercedes 170V.

10FM68 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Probably the most famous picture showing a captured Axis vehicle has to be the one of the victory parade in Tripoli in '43. The lead vehicle is CinC 8th Army's Humber Snipe, from which the Prime Minister is inspecting troops, and the vehicle immediately following is a Horch. 10 68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvis48 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) After some research I reckon it's a Mercedes 290 W18 D 1934-1937. This one looks surprisingly similar, even the semaphore indicators are the same! Still in RAF blue. For sale at 249,000 Euros.
