Panzer II Ausf a or b with Crane

[panzer1946]

I came across this thumbnail of a special modified Panzer II Ausf a or b that has a crane mounted in the turret race. It seems to be a modification from a factory in Germany during Ww2 for use on their grounds, so it is a one-off.

I am interested in knowing more about it and particuarly would like to see full size photos and/or different photos of it.

Thanks for any assistance,
Tony

Hi Panzer1946,

sorry, can´t help you, but nice photos. Do you have more "goodies"?

Cheers.

 

[panzer1946]

sure, I have lots of 'goodies' ;D

what are you looking for?

Hi Panzer,

more on the "paper panzer" side, if you please . I keep waiting for the "Panzer Tracts 20-3" by Jentz/Doyle, but they seem not to publish it even in 2010. Bad luck.

I'll see what I can dig up tonight after work. Not all of it is on digits. I have the PT 20-1 and 20-2, I wasn't aware of the 3rd installment. What vehicle groups are to be in that one?

Hi Panzer1946 ,

the third volume will cope with self-propelled anti-tank guns and artillery, as included in volume 20-1.
Cheers.

can't wait for it then! Anything from the Panzer Tracts series is worth buying. I hope that Tom gets it published soon.

Here are a few SP thingies for you:
