Impressive, most impressive!!!
Hi All,
I am not an expert on the numbering system the Germans used but I understand it usually was read in the following way: A Tank with the number 142 is the Platoon Sergeants Tank of "4 Platoon of Number 1 Company. So the first number is the company designator(1), The second number is the Platoon designator (4) and the final number indicates the Commanders position in the platoon. (2) which in this case is the Platoon Sergeant.
So my guess is that the number 1032 is the 10th company 3rd platoon Platoon Sergeant Tank. But I am not an expert on this so I could be wrong in my guess. Hopefully someone will confirm or deny this for us.
All the best
Dave
...but I would assume they might for the sake of their NATO allies but we both know what can happen when we make assumptions right
Hope all is well with you back east and the the weather is turning nicer.
All the best
Dave
