OK...that 600mm siege gun is Karl?


The second pic above is a German PAK40 AT gun mounted on a M5 Stuart chassis. No idea of the nomenclature.

yeap.... Mörser "Karl" (Gerät 040/041) was a series of self-propelled 60 cm siege guns designed to bombard heavily fortified positions. They were built in Germany during the Second World War.  60 cm Mörser Karl Ziu firing in Warsaw, August 1944. A round of ammunition is visible on the left.

The Vehicle to the left is a British Sherman Based BARV (Beach Armoured Recovery Vehicle), or known as the Sea Lion.

What is interesting is it is the very very early M4 with the three piece transmission cover, which before the conversion would have had the M34 Turret. It is roughly a pre-41 Model and even by the Shermans first combat debut for the British at El Alamein they had already chaged to the M4A1

I cant find reference to the T-34/122 in my library, does anyone have more info?

Its obviouly a T-34/85 but, is that Turret some sort of Hybrid from an early M-47? Egypt recieved many M-47's from us and the underhang of the turret really does not follow a T34/85 Curve under the mantle???

The second one is SdKfz 250/9 with the "Neu" modification with the Hangelafette turret and 2CM KWK 38 gun.

As an FYI, the SdKfz 7 is a Huge prime mover. You could park a 250 series in your garage.
