Bummer! Do you have a higher resolution version of that picture, even?

No, I am afraid that is the only one. Winter in Belarus is not conducive to the taking of pictures as one’s hands freeze quite quickly.

Do you have any other photos of the German tank? I’m having a devil of a time trying to identify it! It doesn’t look like any German, Soviet, American, British, Polish, French, Czech, Hungarian or Romanian armored vehicles that I have compared it to! I am thinking maybe pictures from different angles might help.

Justin Ames – please contact me on my private mail: jan.kowalski104@wp.pl . I’d like to talk to you more about postsoviet bases and equipment in the former USSR.
Thanks and regards from Poland!

There’s a lot of interesting stuff in the old Russian sites, Donald. Hope you’re able to make it over there someday.

Thank you for your comment, Andy. Yes, there are definitely some Soviet vehicles sprinkled in to the convoy. When I shot the video, I was so cold that I couldn’t think straight and did not accurately identify the vehicles. And then with the post on my web site, I just wrote down what the base personnel told me, although I had my doubts about some of the vehicles. I’m certainly no expert though and so I have appreciated learning from individuals such as yourself that know much more about these vehicles than I do. Haha, if you scroll through the comments section, you’ll see there is a lot of disagreement about the vehicles in the convoy. I don’t know enough to argue one way or the other myself, but it is fun to watch the debates and, like I said, I’ve learned a lot.

Very interesting post! I’ve only been on this side of the old iron currtin
but, at that time their stuff was not for sale! I have seen some interesting
WWII Japanese and Korean battlefileds in my time and a few in Europe
as well….would love to have made it into Russia!
