Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 A couple of years ago, I was watching a WWII documentary on the Eastern Front and caught a glimpse of a tiny one man German tracked vehicle. It wasn't a Kettenkrad as it was too short and had no front end like the Kettenkrad. It looked something like this but I have come up empty except for this photo. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I was thinking who among my motor pool guys could have done something like that. Not the captain’s driver, uniform always clean. Maybe the guy we called Festus, he could always be found in an engine compartment. Sold him all my stained fatigues for 2 or 3 bucks a pair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It was actual video of the tiny vehicle in a German armored column going through a village that was burning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I haven't been able to find any German WWII One Man Tracked Vehicles. Might could be it was something captured from the French and put into German service. Or maybe an Italian vehicle. Or maybe Polish https://www.tankarchives.ca/2022/10/polish-tank-destroyer.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
