Spot the mistakes ?

Post by Tiggr »

This picture has many inaccuracies in it.
For example, the Kubelwagen in the foreground is DAK issue.

Can you spot the other mistakes ? :D

Railways probably the wrong scale, Tigers got binocular sites when they where discontinued long before the late version

and the 'commander' could be the gunner looking on while his flamboyant comrade gets his "Liberace" on for the camera !!

For Tom's benefit I can confirm that all the observations to date are valid and there are probably another half dozen inaccuracies in the picture.


The figure with his legs crossed sitting on the barrel of the tiger's main gun is Michael Wittman - this figure has been made by Torro and replicates a famous propaganda photo in 1944.
