Robin,
Thanks for the great pix! Its cool to see "newly" restored vehicles like the P4 and 88 and halftrack. The P4 looks like a very small tank unless the soldier holding the MP40 is gigantic!

I don't get the bathtub with the Piper picture in it? Is that supposed to be a memorial of somekind?

The land -sub is an interesting idea too.

Looks like a great show. Thanks for posting these!

The Laughing Swordfish was the painting on the sides of U96s conning tower for the 1981 war film Das Boot

This must be either one of the models used or a great mockup.

Hi Bob,

I believe the bath tub was Joachim Peipers, there was another there also which was Churchills.

Cheers

Dave,
Aha now it makes since. Wow the real bathtub huh? I remember reading how partisans attacked his house in France after the war and burned it down. I guess it is a rather fitting collectable then.
