I hope this becomes a regular thread. Post a single picture of anything to do with WW2, including the years prior and just after.

Here's the first one. USS Cowpens rolls heavily during Typhoon Cobra, December 17th, 1944.View attachment 249820

Looks like a 40 - 45 degree roll. I couldn't handle that.

I think they are Bussing-Nags, though I have not been able to find a pic of it with that particular style of treads.

It is quite difficult to state , Sir. Also the file name seems to be incorrect a litle bit. It should say it was Bf 109E ( IMHO, it's E-1 ) of JG 3 but not JG 5.

Thanks VB. Found this link, Büssing-NAG

Any idea what the half track was used for?

The ME-109 was one of two enemy fighters I saw in the air while on a mission.
