Michel Might want to think about the jagdtiger name as its already a tankwebsite www.jagdtiger.de/index2.htm i don't know if this has already been addressed

Michel Might want to think about the jagdtiger name as its already a tankwebsite

I'm not planning to build an website so there is no problem with the name

The list is will be similair named like the others, "Germany AFV Register" or Deutschland Militärfahrzeug Register


Michel

Let get back to the collection of various museums, etc

Panzermuseum Munster, already mentioned before however I found an new site with an lot of picture's

Not only from the tanks there, but also the other stuff
Like trucks, cars, munitions, half-tracks, etc

www.bundeswehr-modellb...index.html

If some-one is looking for an picture of an German AFV still in service, let me know
Most of the picture's of vehicle's found is of equipment still in use, so not usable for the register

However nice to have for reference

Michel

Massimo

PS Note to self, next time wait until the snow melt down before travelling to Germany

A kind of mortar carrier. Maybe on Marder APC chassis?
Geschutzter Sonderwagen

Hi Massimo,

I think to know what vehicle that maybe
The mortar carrier is most likely an Schutzenpanzer (lang) HS 30 Panzermorser
An self propelled mortar version of the German APC HS 30
Initially fitted with an 81 mm mortar and later with a 120mm mortar
You should know it, it is an Swiss Hispano-Suiza (in short HS) design


The "Geschutzter Sonderwagen" is an vehicle of the German Bundesgrenzschutz (literly State Border protection), original an kind of border police force
The vehicle was used for "hard-core" riot's and for road blocks, this police force in now part of the German federal police force

In 1951 they where created to patrol the German borders and they formed the base for the German army and navy
I don't think you could compare this police force with something else in the world

Besides acting as border patrol and federal police
They are there to protect German national interrest around the globe
Protection of German embassies, the national airline Lufthansa, sea ports, act as military police, emergency services, etc

They could even operate under the UN, European Union or similar

And this is very special, because for the German army they had to change to nation's laws in 1990, before they could be send abroad for NATO

ps: cann't wait to see some picture's
