Hi
I need some help to identify these vehicles!


Original:


Is these photos taken in Budapest after the siege?
Thanks!

found something on this site: Panzer Archiv


Tried to translate the text, but I´m not shure about the names:


"the pic was taken in Budapest, on the "Fő street, between "Kettenbrücke" (maybe chain-bridge?) and "Margit bridge".
Vehicles of the 13. PD (PGDR 66 and PAA 13) were probably after the "dissolving of the Pester Front" (in mid January 1945)left behind due the lack of fuel."

Hard to tell something about the 251s, I think all are Ausf. Ds, but as I´m not an expert on the other designations, I just can agree on the second in the row (251/1 Ausf D)

Hello
Thank you very much! I'm investigating about the 251/17 D and 251/21 D.
I haven't found information showing that 251/17 D type has been deployed in Budapest.

This picture taken in Hungary before "Konrad" begins, but I'm not sure.

I saw this picture in a better quality and it's more likely a drilling, not a 251/17 D.

Hi.
I can confirm this is a drilling.
First link below shows a lot of info on all types.
In English and very complete.
Second is a buildlog, pictures speak for themselves.
The guy is building a dio and shows a very nice drilling.
