Pzkpfw-e Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 The E100 was brought back to Bov for examination, so I suspect that's where that video's taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Valentine gun tank in NW Europe, that's interesting..... As the Valentine has the Allied star on it, it would seem that it is in fact in NW Europe. Apparently a few were used as command vehicles for units equipped with Archer, so it fits in with the previous clip of an Archer in action. The E100 is I am sure, as found at the Works, seem to recollect reading about this in Wheels & Tracks years ago and my guess is that the wooden railings around it were for a camouflage net to hide it.

paul hocking Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi, This E100 is seen at the Henschel test facility called Haustenbeck in Northern Germany. Its the same facility that Bovington got their Jagdtiger and Porsche turreted Tiger II from, along with this E100 and a 17cm "Grille" self propelled artillery gun and another Tiger I, the last three long since scrapped. The shot up Tiger I is not the same as the one mentioned above. A second Tiger II found here went to Sweden as a gift and now, I believe, only the gearbox exists. cheers paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzkpfw-e Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 The "Swedish King Tiger" came from France, bought in 1947. Took a lot of getting to Sweden! Its engine, gear box & a hatch are all that's left. http://www.achtungpanzer.com/the-swedish-pzkpfw-vi-ausf-b-knigstiger.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul hocking Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Hi, Yes absolutely so, for the Tiger II, my mistake, . the Panther also taken to Sweden from France (as mentioned in the article) was originally a Befehlpanzer of Stab / SSPzRgt 2, its tactical number was 99, the other two Befehl Panther in the Stab of SSPzRgt 2 were 97 and 98. As the article said the Panther is now in Munsterlager painted as a Befehl Panzer of the Pz Lehr Division. And the captured Panther in the above film, #232, is also from Pz Lehr division. cheers PAUL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
