'LUCKY WRIGHT'S ESCAPE Lt "Lucky" Edwin Wright, just over 19 yrs. old, just returned from his 39th mission- over Munster. He got hit by flak but continued on his mission dropped his bombs, did a spot of strafing and retuned. When he got back he found a hole 8ins. in diameter through his 11ins. diam prop blade, caused by a direct hit from an ack ack shell. If the shell had deviated an inch and a half either side, his blade would have severed and he would have been brought down. This is the 6th. time that Wright has been hit by Flak and is now known as “Lucky Wright”. He has 5 and a half months of combat to his credit and 39 missions. He belongs to a Republic Thunderbolt Squadron commanded by Major J Sherwood. |

I just don't think those are speakers or some sort of sound detection system. I would think that like any illumination device it would have the ability to be aimed. They look like they're in a fixed position on the hull. Frankly I'm still completely stumped. |

I'm stump too....I have never seen that. I have looked through the dozens of reference books that I have in my library on German armor and have never seen that figuration on a Panzer 3.
It's possible it's some sort of field conversion or some sort of experimental set up. |

I asked for help on another page if anyone could help identify the mystery panzer equipment. I went through a couple of lists of panzer III variants and prototypes and did not find anything yet.

Does everyone think this is a Eastern Front tank? I do.
The reason I say that is on the Western Front the Allies were very good at taking German equipment that was something they had not seen and putting it in armor collection yards for further study. If this tank had been seen on the Western Front there would have been pictures taken of it and it would have ended up in one of Zaloga's books. I don't think the Russians did that much not, from what I have seen. |

I still think that was a Eastern Front tank. I bet they used it in the initial stages of Operation Barbarossa to try to get Russian soldiers to surrender.
