I was just reading about those in Major Hans von Luck's autobiography ('Panzer Commander'). Anybody know where I might find a picture of one?

Uhmm... I'm almost sure the SU76 is the one to the left. :p
The one to the right is that butt-ugly Disston Tractor Tank. Awfully similar to the New Zealand tank.. whazzitcalled..

Extravagant use of a Panther chassis, if you ask me.

Good thing they didn't go beyond prototype stadium. :p

What do I win?

Looks very much like the Renault. "Midnight Requisition" is what we called it in Supply - the Germans likely took possession of this one during their June 1940 field exercise.

Can't pull the wool over your guys eyes. Its a Captured French Renault FT 17/18 light tank. You win the fact that your both better than most.

One that may be a little tougher.

What is a 12.8cm Selbstfahrlafette L/61 ?
Apparently it made use of unused chassis from the VK3001 heavy tank program after it was cancelled ... used in action and two were built.
Cool vehicle
