    This is good....The other Russian fella, Alex, came up with photos from Kursk that I'd never seen...it just goes to prove that this internet really is the way to go for a subject as complex and detailed as WWII....These Russian fellows are providing us with excellent material that we would not have a hope in hell of seeing otherwise....If this internet was any more useful to all of us bull-frogs in the pond, I would happily drop a log....

    Well we all provide each other with excellent material. It called pooling our resources and its why this place is an excellent reference site for WW2.

    Heini, I do so agree, wwhich is why I'm going to make a special effort for this site when I get to DARWIN in a weeks timew....intend to get you some great pics, and I'm going to post an article (eventually, after a little research) about Darwin's airwar....For me this will be exciting, cuase I'm fairly sure not many people onsite have seen these sites, nor will they ever....so I can at last do the same thing for Alex in Australia as he is doing for us in Russia...fair swop eh?

    I am not the webmaster at Russian Battlefield.

    My hobby is military modelling.

    Few pictures with Sd. Kfz. 184 Elephant at Kursk 1943.

    Man....this is such an exciting thread for the researcher....Hey!!....I have JUST HAD AN IDEA!!!....WHY DON'T we hand out our own Awards IN THE FORM OF BARS AND RIBBONS OF OUR OWN COLORS AND DESIGN?....Then, our moderators can thank people like Alex in a way that can be shown on his avatar.....The more ribbons, the more the mods feel that the user has served the site with information or pictures to the benfit of all. And we could give medals to the girls for their efforts too...I'm not sounding to 'kitsche" am I?

    That picture was titled 'Sherman D-day'... Is it Overlord D-day? or the pacific, Tarawa or something?

    Late model M4A2, LVT's it's certainly the Pacific. The wooden planking on the sides of the Sherman were a US Marine mod.

    It was the LVTs & something about the Uniforms, maybe even camo on the tank.
    Hadn't even registered the Planking, nice one, definitely pacific then.

    The Sherman / LVT photos are likely Okinawa but possibly Saipan or Pelileu (sp). The wood planking became popular very late in the war in the Pacific when the Japanese regularly started using pole mounted hollow charge and magnetic hollow charge AT weapons.
