#1: Late to the party: Yugoslav Somua with 6 pounder fitted Author: Blackjack, Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2011 3:08 pm ----
Came across this pic of a captured Somua used by Tito's partisans fitted with a 6 pounder gun from an AEC mk II/III armored car. Anyone know of another pic of this beastie, possibly from the front of the vehicle? Interesting nevertheless! Regards, MK

I'm sorry, but I need to confirm your suspicions, because the other photos are unknown. Conversion allegedly took place in an unknown factory in the town of Sibenik.

I got this picture from a fellow, but it seems to raise more questions than it answers...
