Re: Japanese tank crews
Great pics. Japanese tanks are among the lesser known types from the period and I've not seen many photos of them. Thanks.

Re: Japanese tank crews
It always makes me cringe to hear about tank crews running out of escape hatches to avoid the fate of being cooked alive, only to be easy targets of infantrymen or machine gunners on the opposing side. That first picture you posted, the one with tankers laying dead on their tank, reminded me of exactly just that...
Sure reminds us that war is cruel, huh?

Re: Japanese tank crews
I suppose you're right. I much rather take the chance of being shot then being cooked in a tank, too.
Did this gruesome fate for unfortunately WW2-era tankers have any effect on modern tank design?

Re: Japanese tank crews
I don't know what the little tanks are. I think I put that one in the wrong place.......The other one seems interesting. Seeing a bunch of Japanese tanks all in one place isn't that common in a lot of WW2 pics. Usually a couple on a some island.
