HD Failure - lost reference picture - Pz.Kpfw. IV
Posted by Labour In Vain on Thursday, January 6, 2011 7:32 AM

First of all Happy New 2011 to all of you :)

My new year could have come off on a better foot;
My 1T Iomega external hard drive stopped smoking.
It has ceased to be
It has gone to met its maker ( here it comes Iomega ,watch out because it is coming in hard, fast and low )
My Iomega now sleeps with the fishes
It is now an x-external hard drive

Many years of downloaded reference pictures ( some 3000 ) have become electrostatic rubble on a piece of useless metal.

I have now spent 3 hours on the Bundesarchiv to find a reference picture that I am not even sure is there.

It is a winter picture of a German Pz.Kpfw. IV taken from a front right angel.
You can see the turret with mounted protection skirts, the tank commander is looking into the camera and MG armed Grenadiers have taken cover between the turret protection panels and the turret.
To hide from the cold or to launch an attack, the picture does not tell.
If anyone knows what picture I am talking about and can help with a link or a post I would be very happy.

You would sort of make my January :)

As always
Boarder

Detailfreak,
You have made my day m8, IOU!
Would your source by any chance reveal the name of the photographer?
The name can be used on the Bundesarchiv search function to find the original high resolution picture.

TigerEP1,
Nice attempt, really cool pictures but as you already said not the one.
Very much appreciated and you have sort of kicked of my next project :)

Thank you guys!
2011 does not start to bad after all!

As always

Sorry nothing more than Bundesarchiv,glad I could help. When you said the machine gunner was positioned behind the turret schurzen I knew I had seen that pic. I feel your hard drive pain as my old pc started acting funny and so I started to migrate some pics,but it died before I could get them all.Super Angry
