I recently acquired a great collection of photos about 30 of which are all one group, or appear to be. I was hoping some members could help with identifying the tanks and vehicles in some of the photos and translate the writing on the photo's reverse. All the photos have the frank "Photo Grenz D001 Hagen" is anyone familiar with this processor?

Hi Richard, all these were taken in France in 1940 The first tank is a French S35.

Second tank is a Panzer IV. Note the crew wear the feldgrau M34 felmutze which is typical for the French campaign. The Pz beret was going out of use but the black M34 cap had yet to reach the troops.
Cannot help on the text, sorry.
Cheers, Ade.Comment
