I knew the German Army recruited young men towards the end of the war but isn't that wee chap a bit young to be a tank commander?

The ironic thing is the driver can't reach the foot pedals, the gunner is near sighted, the radio operator has severe tinnitus, and the Volksturm loader has arthritis as well...
Best tank crew ever!

 

[Wurger]

Yep.. and the commander doesn't have the incisor teeth. But the primary ones are still there.

Two MGs in the turret? Haven't seen that one before.

 

[Wurger]

This is a Panzer III Ausf. E command tank. This vehicle is fitted with a dummy 37mm main gun and a dummy MG 34 co-axial machine gun but had an actual ball-mounted MG 34 machine gun on the right side of the turret's mantlet.

八月二十三日 竹下部隊の手に捕虜となった支那正規兵

Not approved because not so dramatic.
Nice find.

Thank you! Funny thing is, I found it when digging through my old picture files on my computer. I totally forgot about it! Good thing I decided to go through them and delete my no longer needed pictures, or pictures I don't really like.

Exact quote from ww2db.com (where I got the picture from): "B-24H Liberator "Pegasus The Flying Red Horse" of the 784th Bomb Squadron landing at RAF Attlebridge, Norfolk. The parachutes were used for braking after the hydraulic system was shot out in combat."
