Outstanding photos, Fritz, thanks for sharing them.

Regarding photo #38, this was too early for lend lease half tracks to have reached Russia and I make your vehicle to be either an improvised armoured car on a truck chassis (r) or one of the early Russian rather primitive armoured cars.

A real treat for armour buffs, your photos, and I hope you have some of softskin vehicles which is my personal passion.

Thanks again and Cheers

Bill

I was wondering what could be on top of the stug in #30 and I saw the same barrel in another pic #43 as well.

My guesses,

1) preheated oil to start the vec in winter
2) a container to hold the special hydraulic fluid the gun.

Here are some more pics.
