Ontario Museum buys fake German vehicles

[Alex van de Wetering]

Oh boy.....

I thought everybody knew most of the armoured Maultier was fabricated....the top of the hull with all the wrong angles and measurements and the complete tracks and bogies from a T16.

Same with the Marder....I think it's a Swedish chassis which is slightly longer and has two return rollers in stead of one. Superstructure and PAK could be original though.

I have to agree with Hanno though on the "made in germany" lettering. Dunlop had a factory in Germany, that did produce tyres for half tracks and aircraft ....and I believe it said "Dunlup, made in Germany" on the sides.
But Firestone and Good year....mosty likely T16 carrier parts.
