πάταξον "φυλάκισον μεν, άκουσον δε":
οι 3 τύποι χαληνωτηρίου στομίου σε pak40, όπως τούς δίνει το κιτ που έχω στα χέρια μου. Η "ταυτοποίηση" που βλέπετε mid-early-late, είναι μετά από ψάξιμο στο διαδίκτυο, & όπως τους δίνουν εταιρείες βελτιωτικών
η φωτογραφία που ανέβασε ο Κώστας από Cassino , μοιάζει με το 1ο προφίλ του κιτ του pz.jg.abt 171 της
71ης & όχι της 17ης μερ.πεζικού ,όπως λανθασμένα αναφέρει η dracon.
Mικρό ψάξιμο στο διαδίκτυο φέρνει την pz.jg.abt 171, ήδη μετονομασθείσα σε stug.abt.1171 σε μάχες στο Monte Majo στην περιοχή του Cassino το Φεβρουάριο του 1944.
Αν δεν έχει & εδώ λάθος η κυρά dracon πάω για 3/χρωμη.
αντιγραφή απο feldgrau.netSo equipped Pz.Jg.Abt. 171 moved from Denmark to Austria (Kärnten) in August 1943. On September 9, the day after the Italian surrender to the Allies, the units of the 71. Inf.Div. crossed the border into Italy and began disarming Italian troops in the Treviso - Gorizia - Trieste - Fiume area. Here on September 14 the 1./Pz.Jg.Abt. 171 was involved in a tragic friendly fire incident at Fiume, when one of its Marders knocked out the leading Panzer IV Ausf. H of a column of tanks from the I. Abt. Pz.Rgt. 1 approaching the city from the direction of Trieste. The Pz IV H (Ofw. Schäfer, 2./Pz.Rgt. 1) was completely destroyed and one member of the crew died.
After that Pz.Jg.Abt. 171 was engaged in guarding the coast and fighting partisans in the area between Monfalcone and Fiume. In October or November 1943 the anti-tank guns of the 2. Kp. were replaced by eight Italian assault guns of the M 42 da 75/18 and 75/34 type, and in February 1944 the designation of the company was changed to Stu.G.Abt. 1171. In February or March the number of assault guns was also increased to a total of now four M 42 da 75/18 and ten M 42 da 75/34.
Meanwhile in January 1944 the 71. Inf.Div. had quickly been transferred to the area south of Rome, and beginning in February 1944 it was in action in the Monte Majo mountain area during the battle for Cassino. After suffering severe losses and barely escaping encirclement by Allied troops several times during the 3rd battle for Cassino (German counting) the division was practically destroyed until May 20, 1944. Pz.Jg.Abt. 171 had lost almost half of its Marders and assault guns.
Thereafter followed more combats near the Adriatic coast at Chieti, which led to further heavy losses in the area of Esperia. The remnants of the 71. Inf.Div. withdrew to the Ancona sector. The next engagement followed in September 1944 during the Battle for the city of Rimini. After that the badly depleted 71. Inf.Div. was transferred to Trieste for an urgently necessary rest and refit.
By August 1, 1944 the number of operational Marder III H in the 1./Pz.Jg.Abt. 171 had shrunk to only one. The total number of available Marders could not be established exactly, but was probably about five. Additionally the company by then had one platoon outfitted with towed heavy anti-tank guns. The 2. Kp. - or Stu.G.Abt. 1171 - still could field nine Italian assault guns. At the end of August 1944 wies the Gen.Insp.d.Pz.Tr. had allocated five new Marder III Ausf. H or M from factory maintenance to the 71. Inf.Div. These vehicles were actually shipped from an ordnance depot on September 19, but none of them ever reached the 1./Pz.Jg.Abt. 171. Instead they were distributed among the 1. Fallschirmjäger-Div. (three) and the 26. Pz.Div. (two).
The reason for this probably was the decision to transfer the 71. Inf.Div. from Italy to H.Gr. Süd in Hungary. The first rail transports left from Undine in mid October 1944. The 1./Pz.Jg.Abt. 171 gave up the remaining Marder III H to other units in Italy (a common practice for German units leaving for another theatre of war), and was converted to towed anti tanks guns when arriving in Hungary.
