    I have included two pictures. I believe it's a Mark-4F2 or Mark-4J or some other variant of a Mark-4. Can anyone ID for me? View attachment 13870

    Don't hold me to this, but the main gun barrel length makes me think it is an F1 of the Mark IV. The next up F2 version had a longer barreled main gun to my best recollection, not the shorter barrel seen here. Don't hold me to it, I'm doing this as a WAG.

    Just a recruit here, but that looks like a T34 with German markings.

    It is definitely a T-34. This particular one is the "1943" model, since it has the hexagonal turret. This particular vehicle was probably produced fairly late as it has a commanders cupola, a feature introduced on the later vehicles of the T-34 1943 model line.
