The tracks of this tank or "Sturmgeschütz" are completely different form any other German WW2-tank I have seen so far. Could this be a tank of some of the German WW-2-allies, e.g. Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia or Finnland, possibly produced under licence? This presumption is not far fetched, especially if you look at /vehicle_1497485.html ,a picture of the same film, showing a tank that is certainly not a German one. -- Last edit: 2021-03-23 13:25:36

Gilbert ◊ 2021-03-25 22:04	OK, why not? Unfortunately the uniforms of three members of the tank crew are hardly recognizable
