Photo #2 of the M5 Stuart is similar to a scene in THE DIRTY DOZEN involving the the Red Army/Blue Army war game---an M5 Stuart is in the column passing down the town street.

No, the Hetzer was the only one. But there was Kubelwagen, Schwimmwagen, Kettenkrad and Zundapp.

Tanks In Town celebrate our liberation by US troops (1st ID and 3rd AD) so there si no real place for German armor.

The Hetzer is the only one and it is supposed to be captured.

Showing German stuff here is not realy appreciate due to civilian executions made by retreating troops. Not to mention 4 years under the Nazi rules.

This may change in the future as those who lived this period will slowly past away and peoples may be more interested by vehicles than history.

Time will tell.
