Never seen the jack block on the side of the turret before, a lot of detail on this one including a milk jug :D

If You meant the left side of the turret, then for my eyes it's just a wooden box not a jack block... :/

Also to note that this is a command tank (Panzerbefehlswagen) as it has the additional antenna base on the rear deck.

Hey Mick,
I was going to ask about the " What are the three upside-down stools on the back? " but then thought i must be seeing the picture wrong, they can't possibly be stools. ??? :wtf:

Maybe they're for sitting on when milking a cow ! :crazy: :haha:

It depends what the correct writing is.
If it is Pfannküche, it would be pan-kitchen, maybe derived from a cooks family
If it was PfannküchLe. Then it would be pan-cake most likely. Funny names are not limited to a particular nation though :D
