At the moment, the following technique is presented in fashion:
– Bren Carrier 731(e) 3.7cm Pak 36
– Bren Carrier 731(e) 4.7cm Pak 188(h)
-Bren Carrier 731(e) 2cm FlaK 38
– Panther Ausf.D with Panzer IV turret
– Panzerjager I Ausf.B
– Sd.Kfz.234 w/Luchs turm
Sd.Kfz.234 w/Luchs turm:
As World War 2 entered its final stages the ever resourceful German units on the ground, starved of supplies, turned to using whatever was at hand – the results turning into unusual and unclassified one off examples. Most likely this example is a field modification serving with the 20 Pz.Div Hungary April 1945. The recovery of a 234/2 body and a turret from a damaged Panzer II Ausf. L Luchs resulted in this enigmatic but simple field conversion.
Such fast mobile weapons can play a decisive role when it comes to securing access to the enemy at the beginning of the battle. Especially good on the flanks, take a good position in advance to prevent the enemy or at least distract him from your real goals.
Panther Ausf.D with Panzer IV turret:
This hybrid of two tanks was probably fully functional. However, the dimensions of the shoulder straps of the turret of the "four" and "Panther" do not match, by about 20 cm. The use of adapters will only weaken the mechanism, and it is too expensive to remake a single turret or tank hull. Therefore, most likely, the tower was simply welded on, creating some semblance of an ersatz self-propelled gun from the car. This is all the more understandable, because the 653rd tank destroyer battalion was equipped with Ferdinand self-propelled guns, so the commander had to be in a similar vehicle (in theory and logic of things).
The modification was carried out by Staffsfeldwebel Anton Brunnthaler, a battalion technician. Considering that the weapon was a combat one (according to the book), there is a high probability that the vehicle was still used in combat, and the radio station, apparently, was a standard FuG-5. It is known that by August 1944, only three Ferdinand combat vehicles remained in the 653rd battalion of heavy tank destroyers. And that is why we can safely assume that our "hybrid" died in battle.
