This dio shows 2 captured vehicles that have been pressed into german use. The small tankette is French and the germans assessed it to have little combat use so it was relegated to such uses as an artillery tractor. The second is a Russian tank that has been recently captured and replaced losses on the German side. I have put on Rough German markins as crews tried to put on distinguishing marks as soon as possible. German AT gunners often didn't pay to much attention at the sight of one of these tanks and fired straight away, that is why the crosses are large and numerous. I have done the crosses roughly as I wanted to show they had been put on by hand hurriedly in the field, however now I think they look too rough.

Looks great to me, I particularly noticed the 'autumn' colours in the leaf litter, where did you get that stuff?

Hi!
Good work. Love the idea with the captured T34, and the guys taking "whermacht-fotoz". Great work.
Nice autumn colours.

Cheers Simon
