German Firefly - Captured Vehicles in Enemy Service

But that looks just like the ones I've seen in the movies!

 

There's something odd about this pic.

 

They are captured tanks (M4 'War Daddy')from Tunisia on a German training ground. There is film of it and they show these 2 and a Panther climbing a gradient and only the Panther made it to the top.

 

Another cool pic in North Afrika.

 

Someone has clearly taken the transmission. Spares must have been in short supply!

 

This one?

 

I've read that captured French tanks and other gear were given to the Romanians before, but this is the first pic of a German captured French tank I've seen.

 

In case y'all were wondering where I came across these pics, try this place out.

Artwork of Armies

 

Sorry, just had to do it.

 

5.Fallschirmjäger Division captured six M4 tanks during the fighting near Wiltz on 19 december 1944.
1945, January, Esch-sur-Sure. M4A3 from 5.Fallschirmjäger Division destroyed in front of “Hotel des Ardennes”
have a glance at: M4 Sherman

 

Not for us.

 

Tsk - After the Wehrmacht in France excelled in 1944 with its brillant tactic of „inverse advance into rearward areas“ (as ignominious retreat is of course a totally alien concept for German Armies- until today), even the allmighty U.S. Army in it´s vain attempts to catch up with the lightning fast Wehrmacht faced severe problems in bringing sufficient spare parts to the front line units via the Red Ball Route
