    "At the end of World War Two the Romanian Army obtained a number of these German tanks -- whether derelicts recovered from local battlefields or hand-me-downs from the Soviet Army (who operated entire companies of captured Panthers during the war) is not clear with as many as twenty-one being included on the rosters of the Soviet-raised "Tudor Vladimirescu" Division when it converted from an infantry to an armoured division in 1946-47. Details on subsequent service are not known, but in light of the arms restrictions imposed upon Romania in the immediate postwar era, these Panthers probably remained in service into the early 1950's."

    Yup, M-47s doubling up as King Tigers on that awful film 'Battle of the Bulge' :)

    By the way, on that film we had M-24s standing up for M-4s, go figure!

    The Bulgarians also used the German Jagdpanzer IV postwar. 15 units were obtained by the Bulgarians in 1946

    After the end of WW2, Norway used approximately 32 PzKpfw. III (5cm and 7.5cm) and StuG III Ausf. G under the designation KW-III. Later on they were replaced with American M24 Chaffee light tanks.

    "The surviving Syrian Pz. Kpfw. IV's remained in their positions along the Golan Heights until the 1967 "Six Day War" when they were captured by Israel and placed in storage at the Latrun Museum."
