I am not that happy about the shots covering the Hummel. Anyway, here you can see a few:

The guy (mannequin) standing in the Hummel needs to visit his chiropractor!

There aren't that many Marder around, so I think it derseves more pictures:

Awesome stuff, Thanks for posting.

Its my understanding that the Hummel is the former property of the Patton Museum that was 'returned' in the 60's. She looks beautiful. I believe she is operational also.

Don

The Hummel we returned was the early-type with the separate driver compartment, not the full width type seen here. I think ours went to Panzer Museum at Munster.

First time I have seen a Marder with a canvas cover for the fighting compartment. Was this an issue item, or something the museum made up. I don't remember seeing any photos with this cover.

Nice pictures, Massimo, as always....

Is it known what made the four (maybe five) visible penetrations on the Mk IV front?

@Don. See Gary's answer, that Hummel went to Munster. Another Hummel from APG went to Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung in Koblenz, Germany

@Tanklord. I have seen wartime pics with the canvas, but I am not sure if the one in the Museum matches an issue item. Anyway there are only two Marder H in the world, this one and another in Trieste, Italy (I posted pictures of it last year)

@Doug. Based on Trevor's book this Pz IV come from Saumur. It has heavier penetrations along the running gear
