ME 109 toured Victoria , Australia

[Mike Cecil]

Hmmm: German 'stuff' that came to Australia during and just post- WW2 (just the larger stuff: the small stuff like small arms is just too numerous to list here!)

Now this list is from memory, so don't cane me if I get it a bit awry:

(1) V1
(2) V2 (x2)
(3) Vidalwagen (x2)
(4) Meilerwagen
(5) Oxygen trailer (for V2)
(6) Bf 109
(7) PzKw III
(8) PzKw I
(9) Demag semi-track (1 ton?): unarmoured
(10) Semi-track, I think 7 ton? Have to look at the images to confirm size
(11) Horsch field car or light armoured car (remains found in Tasmania many years ago)
(12) Me 262
(14) various rocket/missile technology items, the names of which escape me at the moment; HS-293(?) anti-shipping guided missile comes to mind,
(15) various field guns/howitzers/AT guns (105mm, 88mm, squeeze bore weapon, Light RCL for paratroop use, etc etc
(16) various LAA weapons, trailer mounted.
(17) Puma heavy armoured car

There was also an Italian CV33 tankette.

The 'Tiger Tank' is a fairy tale as far as I can tell, but I'd be happy to be PROVED wrong!!
