It's not that hard to capture a Matilda,
You just walk beside it until the fuel runs out then you (Being German)say HANDE HOCH to the crew and its all yours :haha:

I figured that we would enjoy it. I am now playing out the "scene" from the actual Matilda being captured and the fellows walking up and kindly asking them to get out

I agree buddy it's really interesting when you see the color and you can see the Expressions on the guy's faces and the details on the equipment it really puts you into the picture

The trouble with colourised photographs is that without eyewitness corroboration you cannot trust them and that applies with bells on when it comes to Turret Numbers and unit/division signing.
Mixing a known coloured item "The German Reich Flag" with other signs and emblems merely confuses the issue.
I do like the last picture which shows a PZ4 Aus J with a Cupola AA mount and Zimmerit on the front fenders and mantlet.

That is for sure. :thumbup: We all know that pink with purple and scarlet were indeed the correct German colors :D.
