Hi...I am new in the forum, and not sure if I have the right forum here, but... I have a pair of WWll wooden tank silhouettes, that were apparently used for training. They are reasonably large...being about 20" long... One is definitely German...the other I thought was American, but is has a 'flag' or insignia painted on each side and is a red-white-red vertical design (as a flag would be). Can anyone help me out here. Does this flag/insignia define the tanks identity? Thanks in advance. Steve
Another aid to training was the "Puff Range" Learn about it here: http://ww2talk.com/forums/topic/6846-does-the-puff-range-still-exist/ Ron
If it is a wide red stripe-narrow white stripe-wide red stripe it could be Italian symbol for 1st company-1st platoon. If the stripes are the same width, it could be Canadian. Symbol on Canadian Churchills 1942-43, and Rams 1942, and Shermans 1943 in England (training units). Also on Dieppe Raid Churchills 1942 and on Shermans in Sicily 1943
