Waffen SS at Headcorn


A military show wouldn't be a military show without at least a token presence from the Waffen SS. Above a Panzer Mk III.






A Hanomag with Pak (37mm?).





A scout car.





By the end of '44, the Germans were suffering something of a manpower shortage.

  2. What is going on with the PzIII? Its lower front hull looks pushed forward, it only has 5 road wheels instead of 6 and there is spaced armor in front of the driver and mg positions.

  3. Ive met the guys with the PZiii before and its not (obviously) a PZIII chassis. Cant remember what its built on top of...

    I love Combined Ops. Out of the 3 shows in Kent in July / August, its by far my favorite, but sadly the last two years I've ended up on holiday :(

    1. A great deal of work went into this particular kitbash.

  4. One of the Re-enactment societies built a Stug III out of a similar chassis, I'm sure it was an old British Army FV 432

    1. I have seen other recreations based on that chassis.
