YES Ryan
They grabbed a Demag half track and a Sd Kf 223 armoured car from Nth Africa .
the remains of the Demag were recovered by a friend in 1983 ? from Kaniva in the Mallee . A farmer there had bought it from Hughes trading just after WW2 , he cut in in half and made a crawler tractor out of it . The hull had mine blast holes in it . We found a few 9mm rounds in the hull , down in the dregs
I had it stored at my place . The vacuum assist change gear box was still in it . A little swastika stamp on it .
