    Not quite captured but is it trying to be an American with the white star?

    no dont thinks so. Thats the normal place for the divisional symbol.

    Browning HP's perhaps mildly borderline as 'captured', as they continued manufacture after seizing the FN plant when Belgium fell.

    Given that those Stugs look fully serviceable and ready to go, I wonder if we're looking at one of the oh so lucky German maintenance crews that the Soviets sometimes retained for their captured vehicles. Interesting shot if that was the case.
    I've only read specific reference to them regarding Panthers but there's no reason for them not to be present for other types.

    Either that, or a particularly scruffy Sturmartillerie unit has a man mucking about in a captured soviet uniform...[​IMG]

    I reckon thats's exactly the scenario there, A. Looking really closely, none retain any form of badge or patch on thier uniforms apart from the basic rank-badges. I daresay there isn't a watch between them, either...

    On the Kubel being painted, are those normal German tires or Allied tires?
