Smithy Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 This snap appeared in our local paper recently and I am wondering what exactly it is - don't know if the German cross is somewhat misleading or not. There was no mention of the vehicle in the story sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hi, It looks to be a French Renault UE tankette with a form of turret or superstructure added, possibly by the Germans having captured it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzkpfw-e Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Infanterie Schlepper UE 630(f) The Wermacht captured hundreds of the things & used them in many guises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Thanks gents. Interesting to note that this would have been in 1944/45 and the vehicle seemingly was still in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzkpfw-e Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Used as internal security vehicles and airfield defence against partisans and light forces. Some were converted to carry Nebelwerfers, like these two seen at the Trun scrapyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Try a Polish rail tunnel? There is, if I can find it, a picture of a similar collection at Springfield Stadium in Jersey in 1945. With a Char B being driven over all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
