i have a question though
in the photo in which 2 of the crews of Paula/Wilma were having the meal. the turret number looks like painted on a stripped surface. is that zimmerit-ed turret armor?
thanks

Looks like the zimmerit is on the schurzen, and the tank armor proper.

Along with the other lads here I would like to welcome you to the site onionfry, hope you enjoy yourself. It really is a great pic of a well photographed Panzer of 12th SS Hitlerjugend Division, note the "post" that the driver and radio operators hatches rest on while open.

@ cyberia
sorry, but i dont understand by "some form of caption information". please do explain, and i would try to avoid the mistake again

@ Hagen
wow, now you mentioned it. i just realised it myself that the radio operator's head is out too... though you cant see his face

@ all
thank you for the welcome. i believe we could all learn some things from each other

Surly. Here's a link to the guidelines post:http://worldwartwozone.com/forums/45494-post1.html

What we need is something about the subject featured in the photo as to type or model, and if possible, location and date.

If you are unsure about any information and would like help in identification, there are quite a few members here who are more than able to help out and would be glad to share what they know. Just word the caption in the form of a question.

Check out a few our posts here and you'll see what we mean. If after you read the photo guidelines and have any further questions, please feel free to contact either me or McCoy via PM. We would both be happy to help out in any way we can.

You may also want to take advantage of our on site photo hosting feature. Its free, has many advantages over third party hosting sites and makes starting your own album here easy with access to your stored photos without having to leave the site.
