Dear Santa, Panzer edition
Via the Tank Museum, Bovington:
What did you get for Christmas this year?! If you were the Director of Military Intelligence at GHQ Middle Eastern Forces in 1942, you’d have unwrapped this newly captured Panzer IV Ausf G, a gift from 1st Armoured Division.
The tank, with Fahrgestell Number 83072, was sent to the UK for analysis. In 1960, after many years on display here at the Tank Museum, it was returned to Germany where it can now be seen at the Deutsches Panzermuseum in Munster in its original Afrika Korps colors, one of only 10 known Panzer IV Gs that still survive.
