| Subject: | Foreign Covenanter? (images) | |
| Date: | Feb 6, 2008 |
| From: | Alex Borsboom | |
Hi guys,
Surfing the net I found these pics on a Russian site.
They depict the British Covenanter tank, which was, as far as I know, never deployed outside the British Isles, bar a small number that were delivered to the middle east for training.
The covenanters shown here are marked as 'beute panzer'. One is also shown pulling a french tracked UE trailer.
One of the pics show baracs in the background in which a SdKfz 7 is parked, making a UK training scheme with opposing forces rather unlikely.
I guess these are pics from France 1940.
Does anybody know if there were (some) Covenanters 'trialled' and lost in France 1940?
Or is there another explanation for this pics?
Cheers,
Alex
