Tiger Legend - Ernst Barkmann by Jason Askew. (P) Two portraits of legendary Tiger tank commander Ernst Barkmann, alongside an example of the much feared Tiger tank. |
Eastern Front Tiger by Jason Askew. (P) The Tiger tank was one of the most fearsome tanks in the German WW2 armoury. With firepower that could destroy most enemies at long range and armour that could withstand all but the closest of attacks, the Tiger is rightfully regarded as one of the most effective fighting machines of the war. Please note this drawing has a small crease in the lower left border which goes into the image about 2cm. See the photo provided. |
Pather Tank - Fight for Kowel, Poland, March / April 1944 by Jason Askew. (P) Although in the process of regrouping after their escape from the Cherkassy Pocket, Panthers and Panzer Grenadiers of the crack 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking are part of the relief force hastily assembled and thrown in to free the strategically important city of Kowel in the Pripet Marshes. By April 10th the Soviet encirclement of the city was broken and Wiking were pulled out of the line to continue refitting. |

Pak40 Mounted on SPW Half-Track by Jason Askew. (P) The Pak 40 - a hard hitting 75mm German anti-tank gun-seen here mounted on an SPW for greater battlefield mobility was essentially a scaled up version of the PaK 38 debuted in Russia where it was needed to combat the newest Soviet tanks there. It was designed to fire the same low-capacity APCBC, HE and HL projectiles which had been standardized for usage in the long barreled KwK 40 tank guns. |
Pather Tank at the Danube Bridgehead by Jason Askew. (P) Floridsdorf, Vienna, 3th April 1945. By mid April the Soviet assault had almost cleared German resistance from the south bank of the Danube. Only one small bridgehead remained open to allow troops a chance to escape, and this exit was defended by only 2 tanks and a few anti-tank guns. Defending the eastern approaches to the bridge was the Panther tank of SS Obersturmfurher Arnold Friesen, 2nd SS Panzer Division. Despite being only 19 he was a veteran of Kursk, Normandy, the Ardennes and Hungary with a tally of 97 tank kills to his credit. By the end of the day Friesen and his crew accounted for a further 14 soviet tanks, (the last two with panzerfausts), before covering the final withdrawal of the last German units across the bridge under cover of darkness. |
Tribute to the Stug Aces by Jason Askew. (P) A Stug tank alongside two portraits of Aces who commanded this devastating machine - Hugo Primozic and Georg Bose. |
