I have a book here with just about every German tank etc they had. And I remember seeing some captured carriers with the rear sides removed and a platform on either side of the engine box and soldiers sitting on the plaform with their legs hanging dow the sides and the name given was a schlepper. I'll see if I can find it was packed before we move to the house here so may be awhile finding the book

Maybe its a real "Bren". Most were lost at(or before) Dunkirk.

as per Lynns comments they put lots into service for the sheer versatility of the vehicle. Nigel Watsons Vol 1 of the carrier book has numerous pictures of carriers being used by germans.
here are some pics for you that i had (for idea's) you already had one so i posted the others instead, first one is a line of captured carriers (the german cammo looks so much better in my opinion) ![]() here is a wasp if you want to stay allied forces ![]() and finally to be very different here is a 2 pounder tank hunter (as per Kevin Powles build)
