WWII Photo: German FT (?) in Allied Camp
Permalink   


Though not exactly period-appropriate, I figured this might be of interest to some as I believe it is previously unpublished.  I found this on an art blog (http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2015/01/31-rolls-of-ww2-film/) and the person specializes in buying and developing rolls of old film.  I post this here with the thought that someone with more information than I might be able to contact The Rescued Film project to provide more information.

One of the myriad FT that the Wermacht captured & used for police/anti-partisan work & as training tanks. Called Panzerkampfwagen 17R 730(f).

How about a Vichy FT in WW2. :)

It's from the Imperial War Museum's collection.

Bren gun carriers manned by Indian troops outside Damascus, 26 June 1941. Note the wrecked Vichy French FT17 tank on the right.

FT17?  Must have a word with the IWM.
