What russ. "tank" captured by Gebirgsjäger near Charkow?

[Gran Sasso]

Any ideas? On the back reads "Street to Charkov, russ. tank, october 41"

It's a so-called Odessa tank.

Thanks - is it really a regular tank? Looks more like a tractor with added armor, or so...

[Akira Takiguchi]

A tractor it is! Local improvisation, seen in various versions... I'm not into this subject so I hope an expert to chime in!

Quite a rare pic that IMHO. I have only seen the one on Wikipedia and few others.

A super foto, with some Romanian soldiers near the tank. I have a foto of a captured STZ5 tractor in use by the Romanian Armoured Division, I will post it here soon.

My very best,

Alex

Wow, this photo just sold for EUR 289.80.

I've got a photo of this same tank type in my collection... maybe I'll sell it.
