Pz.III mit Schachtellaufwerk on a flatcar. Two of this rare tank with experimental running gear are seen. These tanks were used in shooting a propaganda movie (the most recent Waffen-Arsenal Pz.III book has several photos from this grouping, including this very picture. How I wish they could have been able to reproduce the photos in better quality!).
Several years after I had acquired the picture above,
I was able to acquire a larger grouping with more pictures,
like this one - a true gem!
Yet more years has passed... and today,
finally, again, "seek, then it will be found!"
This picture proves that Panzerkampfwagen III mit Schachtellaufwerk were produced at least three!
Major Salvador, another picture, Iron cross second class presentation ceremony. These photos are from the estate of Generalfeldmarschall Robert Ritter von Greim.
From the photo album of Unteroffizier Friedrich Rudolph as shown in the book by H. Riebenstahl, Deutsche Pioniere im Einsatz 1935-1945 Eine Chronik in Bildern. He was a troop leader in Pionier-Horch-Zug 2 (platoon leader: Oblt. Oster), which operated in Rostov, Sevastopol and Krasnodar. The platoon had a German Shepherd named Rex. Photos describe Rex attacking the signboard, with platoon members, and a good portrait.
Very rare photograph of a Selbstfahrlafette auf VK 30.01(H).
StuG.III mit 150mm I.G.33 intended for street fighting, was first thrown into Stalingrad battle. One of the few pictures of "before Stalingrad".
12.Panzer-Division incorporated remaining tanks from Panzer-Abteilung z.b.V.66 (here is a VK 16.01, the commander with Generalfeldmarschall Küchler) in late 1942. Here is a Panzer I Ausf. F (VK 18.01), a Panzer IV, and another Panzer IV.
