The previous owner to that Stuart was the British n' not the Americans. US didn't have the sandskirts on their early M3's so that's a nice giveaway for the 'Honey' as the British called it.

Hi!

I have been hearing about tanks and other vehicles - like this Panhard - without turrets being used against partisans. I can't help wondering whether this wasn't a dangerous business? I mean, if the partisan is dressed as a civilian, isn't it really dangerous to drive around in a vehicle that's unprotected from the back or sides? Surely the friendly local partisan can just chuck a grenade into the back?
