Whats going on here?

What's the date of the pic? Early Chem T34/85s? Sino-Russian Front?


(Or is that maybe If can't see them then they won't see me:icon-mrgreenbandit: )

 

It looks like bags of something.

 

Battlefield rubbish collection (the yellow bag is for recyling)??

 

Is that a postwar picture or a battlefiled modded?

Look like T34/85 with the bigger turret and thr 85's wheels, but it has a german style commanders cuppola and the vent moved forward, I dont know it. The background tank looks stock.


looks like dead bodies to me, Not asleep, look at the bag on the engine cover, too uncomfortable.

Where did the photo come from? It looks like stowage bags, tankies are known for carrying their KIt on the tank, might be supplies or something elses.

 

Doesnt look like kit, look at the shape of the bags, looks like lenghts of something, around about 1-2" long?? Dont seem to be secured on either, soething heavy like shells would fall off.

Judging by the green foliage and the baked earth looks like summer too.

very strange

Hmm, I don't think dead bodies. Look at the shape of the bag on the far side of this tank. it's solid, so whatever is in there is packed tight. And why carry corpses? Unless you are using them as unofficial armour.
I think Morses's idea is more viable. they're carrying kit and supplies, and the bags are there to protect the contents from rain/sun/dirt etc. Hence the many different shapes. Maybe it's cammo netting, tents or whatever.

 

I think that turret is right at the end of the war, its a stock turret (im just going mad), the picture may well be post war, the bags may not have anything to do with war, do you have a date vp??

Looks very dry as well, possibly even hot, so you would not carry bodies in that, I would agree with the kit idea, but the shapes of the bags are still quite strange even thinking of kit, camo net, ammo, spares for the tank, etc...

 

There just additional fuel capacity. Standard as well I think.

 

Could be anything but the shapes look like people to me.

 

On the extreme right there, that Does look like the knee down part of a half drawn up human leg.

Saying that though; NBC? Surely the drill would have been to get beneath the stationary tank, rather than sit on top of it?

 

I think it's just really simple camo rather than NBC, but thanks to the cutting edge of computer technology I've superimposed what my eye is seeing;
