No niin. Turhaan ei odoteltu tätä tuotosta. Hienoa jälkeä, etenkin itse rynnäkkötykki ja sen takana oleva talonseinä. Jos jostain täytyy vähän kritisoida niin BT:n takana olevalla sotilaalla on hiukan liian lyhyet jalat muuhun ruumiiseen verrattuna. Mutta se ei kuvan tunnelmaa yhtään huononna. Loistava juttu, että sait työn valmiiksi. Kuten itsekin totesit BT-42:sta ei liikaa kuvia ole.

Ärjy vehje . Onko oikea maisema Viipurista vai pääkopan tuotos?

Lieutenant Sippel: hahah, these two branches attached to my tank will totally conceal me against the enemy
Enemy tank: I see you
Lieutenant Sippel: FFFFFFFFFF

I'll always admire Finland for it's fight agains the Soviet Union. You guys proved that even outnumbered and outgunned, one can still obtain victory. Finland has my deepest respect for that and for rally drivers as well .

Imo coolest assault gun ever, well done!

Niin sillä vähän on, muistan harmitelleeni itsekin. Mies lienee aika tumppi.

Kopan tuotos, loppuen lopuksi Etsin kaikkialta kuvia ihan oikeasta paikasta, mutta tämä lienee nyt joku Kannaksenkadun sivukatu, kivinen aita oikealla voisi kuulua Lepolan hautausmaahan.
Muutenkin kuvassa ei olla vielä toiminnan keskellä ja ilmeisesti vaunu ei ole vielä saapunut määrättyyn tuliasemaansa.

BT-42 was constructed from captured Soviet BT-7s fitted with British 4.5-inch howitzers. It was introduced during the trench warfare period in Syväri (Svir-river) 1943 and was used to shoot at Soviet strongpoints etc. However, it was unsuitable for the anti-tank role, unpopular and obsolete in 1944. They were replaced by German StuG's in the Assault Gun Bn, and BT-42s where formed as Separate Armoured Coy.

For this particular individual, Sippel's gun, encountered Soviet T-34's and JS-II's and was unable to pierce their armour. Driver Sgt Virtanen tried to withdraw from the line of fire. He felt the turret shake as something smashed his back and one of the hatches clattered out in the street. He looked behind him and saw that from those in the tower (Lt Sippel and Pte Sorvisto) only their legs remained. T-34 had scored a hit in the turret. The gun also lost its track and was abandoned. The driver was able to escape to friendly lines.
