Jagdpanzer IV recovered from Citadel in Pozna?, Poland
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Post subject: Jagdpanzer IV recovered from Citadel in Pozna?, Poland

On Saturday 28 November 2009 a front armour plate with mantel and gun was recovered from private terrain near Citadel. Probably it was destroyed during the battle of "Festung Posen" in 1945. Funding this vehicle is a historical mystery because to this day no historical source didn't mention about use of Jagdpanzer IV in battle of Pozna? (even the people who organized this action expected a Russian tank or some gun/howitzer). The parts of Jagdpanzer were after the war dug in ground of a garden and the owners forgotten about it. The existence of it was reviled again during works in the garden this year (the gun was reviled).
It will be restored and be a part of Armoured Weapons Museum,Land Forces Training Centre, Pozna?.

Is that not one of the O-series prototypes? or maybe a very early production version? _________________ TTFN Jim If your not a member of JED then your not serious about anything military.. ********************* www.jedsite.info JED Military Equipment *********************

- JimWeb Is that not one of the O-series prototypes? or maybe a very early production version? It's an early one, because it has a driver MG slot, covered with a flat steel disc. It is not an O-series, because there the MG slot is covered with that flat disc. P-O _________________ soldat_ryan @ hotmail.com Looking for photos of Sherman manufacturer's plates
