Great shots. Thanks for posting these up SDASM and also helping tagging them Kai Heinrich The one up the top shows a Sd.Kfz.250/9 Ausf.B of 4./SS-Pz.A.A.10 (a German SS reconnaissance unit). The unit was quite distinctive by the way it marked the tactical number on the bow plate. Also just visible is a 10.SS Frundsberg 'F' insignia on the upper bow. There's a couple of other shots which are also connected: www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/31896692018/in/faves-... Elements of SS-Pz.A.A.10 were in the vicinity of Achiet airbase (4km west of Bapaume) on the night of 1-2 September 1944, whilst attempting to retreat N-W from Albert. The remains of 10.SS had retreated from Normandy and at this time its surviving combat forces were split into two task forces, Kampfverband Schulze and Kampfverband Paetsch. There's an account in Dieter Stenger's book Panzers East & West on page 152-153 which variously describes a column of 15 SPW of Kampfverband Schulze (elements of the reconnaissance, Panzergrenadier and artillery units of 10.SS) being hit by allied forces north of Albert and eventually cornered and blown up by their crews in Pys. This small village was close to the S-W perimeter of the Achiet airbase, while Grévillers was on the N-E perimeter: www.google.com.au/maps/@50.0946949,2.7796378,4047m/data=!... At the moment I can't seem to find a matching location for these photos in Pys, but if not there these scenes must surely be somewhere nearby. This Sd.Kfz.251/9 below also carries a 10.SS Frundsberg 'F' insignia: www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/44854686995/in/faves-...

I am impressed. Especially that you found the wreck of that damaged SdKfz in Falaise.
Diggerdogroff said:
Kai Heinrich glad you appreciate it. As mentioned in the montage, its thanks to the Leloups who rescued and matched that piece of Falaise Sd.Kfz.251/9 wreckage (they also had a complete 7,5cm Stummel gun for it). Here is where it was first mentioned online 7 years ago: www.panzerwrecks.com/real-life-panzerwrecks-sd-kfz-2519-f...

The vehicle in the foreground is armoured car C-318, named "Starfish." One of six LP-3 Armoured Cars ("LP" for "Local Pattern") produced in total (C-314 Crow, C-315 Curlew, C-316 Cockatoo, C-317 Stingray, C-318 Starfish and C-319 Snake) (source) by Ordnance Factory Maribyrnong. Perhaps all six are captured in this photo?

I think it was Wednesday, 7th May 1941. See this article via Trove which mentions the nicknames on the armoured cars - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/17747157 There are also difficult-to-see photos two pages later; the middle one has a line of six armoured cars - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/page/1103313
