Welcome back to Panzerwrecks. While laying out this issue, Lee had the idea to
revisit PW1. What started as a small feature quickly became a contest between
the two
of
us as to who could add the most new material. Lee won. Actually, we
all did, because the images are superb and show detail- such as the camouflage
on the Panthers and the periscope in the Beobachtungspanzerwagen III
-
we
didn't know existed
.
We hope you'll enjoy this look back. If successful, we'll do it
again in the future.
We
also
looked Eastward. We found some ghostly images of Panzers on a grainy
Russian newsreel that we present here more for the overall sense of desolation
they
convey
rather than any particular detail they provide
.
Heavy armor also
reappears
in a comprehensive walkaround of a Tiger II and a stroll through some
Maus remains
at
Meppen.
Interspersed
are as
many new photos as we could fit and as much new
information
as
we
could
find
.
If you're looking for something interesting, it might just be here
in Panzerwrecks 5.

This Panther of I.lPz.Rgt.26 was shown
on pages 10 and
11
of Panzerwrecks
1. Here, soldiers of the Polish 3rd
Carpathian Division pose with the wreck
on 17 May 1945. On page 3 the vehicle
has been photographed a month later
by the Polish 2nd Corps photographer
J. Kondracki. Without soldiers climbing
on it we can see a stenciled inscription
between the driver's and radio operator's
hatches which reads
: "taken
by 6 Gurkha
Rifles
14/20th
Kings Hussars". The
clear
view
of the turret top and its extra
armour shows
it
to
have
a hand painted
camouflage pattern.
