Radioactiv 263 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 I was on "internets" and i found that, really amazing photos. Its probably PzKpfw IV ausf. H, with ZiS-3 Gun, from SU-76M. Looks strange, but anyone know anything about it ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VojaPaun 161 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 Probably one of captured PzIV's..The Soviet Army captured large numbers of German armoured vehicles, including Panzer IVs (Russian designation T-4). Some of them were pressed into temporary service and some others were used for training. Sometimes captured tanks were used in different temporary units or as single tanks. At least one captured Panzer IV ausf. H was used by the Warsaw Tank Brigade of the Polish 2nd Corps in Italy during 1944. The 1st GMR (Groupement Mobile de Reconnaissance) of the FFI (French Forces of the Interior), later called 'escadron autonome de chars Besnier', was equipped in December 1944 with at least one Panzer IV http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_IV#Captured_Panzer_IVs_in_service Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rautaa 5,801 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 As far as I know, this is one of the Bulgarian pillbox tanks. The turret modification seems impractical for a moving vehicle. :yes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they possibly had more ammo for the ZiS-3. Some nice images of Bulgarian pillbox panzers here: http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/armour-weapons-aircraft-recovery/tanks-pillboxes-bulgaria-recovered-1416/ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NachtJagerX 10,074 Report post Posted August 24, 2014 Yes, this is one of the Pz. IV hulls used as a fortification on our border with Turkey AFAIK. There was also stuff like StuGs and Jagdpanzers, T-34s, Pz. 35t turrets, and other parts of old tanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
