Herms got it, sorry about lack of info, It was during WW2 and what had happened was his jeep had supposedly run into a German tank column, he surrendered and the German supposedly motioned for Rose to give him his side arm but when Rose reached down to get it, tthe German cut him down with Mg fire.

Yep. It can do 120km/h on roads which makes it the perfect street racer. Anything that can go faster you just blow the back end off of with the 105mm main gun.

Next question:

 How many SdKfz 234/3s were built?

If it's Japanese, I'm sure that the name is very poetic.

Not very poetic in English I'm afraid, we dubbed them "Idiot Sticks".

Very good Gun Tech!

The Japanese Suicide Lunge Mine or shitotsu bakurai. (Funny, it doesn't sound very poetic, rather almost obscene!)

You have the right equipment description, but I'm looking for it's name Wink [;)]

Bonus if anybody get the turret's armament correct.
