    The yanks turned a stug or two against their former owners in Italy. Conceivably one of them.
    Failing that, maybe recovery for study.

    Well, that's what I learned about WWII today. Thanks.

    From Wiki:

    A German Sturmgeschütz III that was captured during January-February 1945 in the Battle of the Bulge by the U.S. Army's 104th Infantry Division, here seen in service with the 104th Division. The Americans have added concrete armour, and a large white star painted on top to avoid fire from friendly aircraft. This photo was taken by a U.S. Army journalist embedded in the 104th.

    The 75mm gun is marked "OK" so maybe cannibalization to have a working model.

    Gaining increasing affection for unrestored vehicles.
    Also nice to see the fully detailed & tarted-up examples, but there's something about those 'it is what it is' examples that haven't been dicked about with.
    Bob Grundy used to show vehicles in exactly the condition their years had imposed, with only the mechanicals fully restored. Something rather special about them.

    I won't say which one has borne the years better.

    A camera is near, the Airborne appear! ('cause they're Special).

    Kind regards, always,

    Jim.
