Interesting tank & planes photos

[dan h]

I picked these photos from a vets estate. First one looks to be early or pre war planes. What are they?

Plane in snow

This photo was from a series of photos the vet took on his way into Germany. Can anyone ID the plane in the snow in the distance? Looks Getman, not sure.

Interesting tank photo

My guess this was taken by a German, maybe in early invasion of France? The vet had several wonderful German Luftwaffe high ranking officers photo albums and this may have been out of one of them. Sadly they disappeared. I did get to see them before he passed and one had a whole section of personal photos of distroyed French equipment.

Photo of vet

Here is a photo of the vet. He must have had this photo taken in a private Germans home. The photos behind him show several German soldiers. They look like Luftwaffe. Interesting vase for the flowers. This could be the house where his prized photo album souvineers were found. He told me he and several others spent several days at a home in Germany and it was full of photos and they spent several days going through them all. The albums he found belonged to Luftwaffe General Otto Deßloch

B1

The tank is a french B1, named "RHÔNE", destroyed at Beaumont. See http://www.chars-francais.net/2015/i...sk=view&id=367

The aircraft in the field looks like a P-51 to me. The vertical stab has a square look to it.

Interesting image you posted of the P51, here is the same kind of artist rendering of a Me262a below the P51 image. What do you think? The cockpit cutout looks more like the 262 to me.

109 or 190?

He is another photo the vet had, he is on the right. Is this a 109 or 190?
It looks like the photographer may have had his finger in front of the lens.

The last 'plane looks Italian to me, a FIAT G50 perhaps,

Still looks like a P-51 to me. The top of the Me-262 vertical stab is more rounded, while the P-51 is more squared. In the original picture the vertical looks square.
Also in the original picture it looks like a radiator door and tail wheel/doors on the lower rear of the aircraft. More traits of a P-51.

The pic in #11 shows two Macchi C200, in the foreground, and one Macchi C202 in the background. I think that the Macchi in the middle belongs to the 384° Squadriglia - 157° Gruppo Autonomo. The location is in all probability Sicily 1943.

It makes sense now about the Italian planes in #11 photo, the vet did tell me he was in "Italy" he gave me a German helmet with Africa/Italy tan paint.
