Pantez IV Ausf.J - Academy 1/35 DONE

During World War II using capture equipment was not unusual, but it usually took place on the principle of supplementing the unit with missing equipment. I do not know the case of a unit that was fully equipped only with captured equipment.

In the Polish Army in the East, such a case took place - it was the 5th Anti-Tank Artillery Regiment being part of the 6 "Pomeranian" Infantry Division.

Originally, the Regiment was to be armed with SU-76 but the Russians did not fulfill their obligations. In order not to deprive the entire Division of anti-tank support, the captured ex-german equipment was incarnate (repaired by the 24th Repair Battalion):
one Panzer IV Ausf.J,
three Stug.III Ausf.G (Stug 40),
three Jagdpanzer 38 (t) "Hetzer"
and transporters - Sd kfz.251 and EPA (Marder III).

Captured equipment was used from spring (March / April) until late fall (October / November) 1945. Then it was transferred to the 3rd Training Tank Battalion.

I hope "Pomeranian" translates to something other than the cute dog in Polish.

OH, I just googled...Slavic tribe name Pomeranians. There, I learned something today. :drinks

Great looking build Hubert! (y)
 
Superb model & very interesting back-story. Would have been huge oppurtunity for 'friendly fire' instances !!
