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

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

Agreed , it looks like a box of rations or some such.

Wow, still a nice find. That is a A?
Kanister on the back , and lots of stuff on the turret. Nice :thumb up:

Yup I should of looked closer! guy's on the Panzer page were saying it's a jack block.

Panther Ausf A coded 96 of Hptm Pfannkuche's II battalion 33rd Panzer Regiment 9th Panzer Division ; Normandy August 1944.

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.

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

Cheers
Steve

For real? Unless my high school German fails me, Hauptmann Pfannküche is literally "Captain Pancake".

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
