Btw what was the correct answer on the Pzkfw III question?

No ThAtS WrOnG!! ItS A PaNzEr FoUrTy SiX!11!!!!
However, It is an M4 Sherman in German Service! Yes you were correct about the Pz. III, But it was a K Variant due to the long barrel. Don't know where it was taken though.

I'm pretty sure the mystery fighter's roundel and livery are Yugoslavian (and, yes, they did use a star).
I'll search Yugoslavian fighters and see what I find. I'm guessing that it was a Soviet design locally manufactured under license, perhaps with local modifications. As far as I know, the Yugoslavs never produced any fighters of their own design.

And, I was wrong. The Yugoslavs produced one indigenously-designed propeller-driven fighter of their own: the Ikarus S-49.
Found it using Wikipedia's category system, searching "Category: Yugoslav military aircraft 1940-1949," and then following the category tree to "Category: Yugoslav fighter aircraft 1940-1949." There was precisely one entry in that category.

Helmets are very distinct... Looks pretty modern, so maybe WWII era artillery? That gun shield is weird, tho, so IDK.NukeRaider33 wrote:

I can figure out the area of operations, though. The only trees in the picture are right next to the gun emplacement, and it appears to be savana grasslands. So that narrows down the options of artillery to a handful of european countries shortly after the war ended.

your in the right time period, now to find the gun.....NovaTopaz wrote:

The Germans actually used a LOT of captured equipment during WWII, and not just to test it. A bunch of their light tanks were Czech-designed and manufactured, and their transport trucks were a hodge-podge of stuff from every country they occupied. They also used foreign factories to produce German designs.injinji wrote:

Model 1935 H light tankHotchkiss H35/39 cavalry tank. I only know the french name because as a Canadian, I am required to take french by law. I did a WW2 project in that class once about French history and came across that tank.

bah, Type 5 To-Ku, Amphibious tank, First and only prototype captured by the Americans. Considering that photo is the only one out there since there were no photographs of this tank, it was an easy find. I specialise in the weirder weapons by the way.
