I saw several Panzer IV tanks that were in just the plain dark yellow scheme, which is cool and I'm sure that I saw a couple of Lorraine Schlepper style artillery guns that the Germans used in North Africa as well as in Normandy. If I remember correctly, the Normandy versions were the just the standard 105mm and not the 150mm.

Otherwise, very cool vid.

Nice vids!

I saw Rommel himself taking pictures as his Panzers unloaded in North Africa. Also Dora, the 80cm railway gun (OY, was that BIG!), and even an Elephant (as in a Jagdpanzer Ferdinand, not a pachyderm).

What did YOU see?

"Wonderful things" <G>

First off, Lorraine schleppers with the 105mm LFH. Least common conversion on it.
And while I won't swear to it, some "Marder-1" versions too (Pak-40). I think...
Czech 38t's a couple times.
251 "stummel" -75mm how.
The real oddity- the only Mobelwagen ever assembled with the quad 20mm instead of the 37mm flak.
And lots of other interesting things; for me, especially the "early" stuff.

Yeah, I think I saw 'em too. Bit of a "hey, wait a sec.." kind of moment.
