| Tribunus Laticlavius | Post; Name that vehicle...While messing about I found this rather poor quality picture of a WW2 vehicle and oddly enough despite extensive Google skills I cannot find what it actually is.  Best I can tell you is that it is open topped and German. Any one have any ideas? I have toyed with several ideas but its armament seems is too light for what I thought it could be and its length and height are out of whack for anything I can think of.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Is it a BMW 5 series from under a low bridge?  (Apologies in advance.)

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Here is closer version of the front drivers area.  \The best I can come up with for a time frame is late 1944 early 1945. |

| Milites Gregarius | I'm not 100% sure, but it could be a Panzer 2, but I don't know what variant it could be, sorry |

| Tribunus Laticlavius | I agree that the chassis looks like a Pz I or II but has been fitted with an open top as some sort of carrier. |

| Milites Gregarius | I'm pretty much stumped mate, if the pic showed more detail then we should be able to identify the tank |

| Milites Gregarius | Pz Mk IA (Sd. Kfz. 101) but unsure of the variant. The cupola opening was almost the entire top so may give a illusion as being open. The gun placement is curious. Maybe a command car. http://www.achtungpanzer.com/pz11.htm Last edited by Njaco : May 14th, 2008 at 22:56. |

My initial thoughts were that it was a Wespe with its main armament removed although that would make it a Pz II chassis. | |

| Milites Gregarius | You're right - the turret is throwing me off as well. I still thinks the chassis is a Mk IA, how about a Befehlspanzer? Didn't want to double post but I think I found something - from http://www.achtungpanzer.com/pz11.htm "During Spanish Civil War, PzKpfw I Ausf B was experimentally armed with Italian 20mm Breda Modello (model) 1935 light anti-aircraft gun mounted in a modified turret, in order to increase its combat potential. Some sources state that three tanks were converted that way." and by the looks of the headgear and uniform of the one person in the pic I think that is what we're looking at.
