I guess there is a reason, I just don't know it.

MAssimo,

I corrected this in the last version of the PDF file that is now online.
I don't understand why the G-13s are moving around in Switzerland, is there any reason?

M-78192 is now in Schaffausen, it replaced M-78029 that went to Burgdorf. These tanks are still owned by the Swiss Army, who loan them to the museums.

I quickly checked a bunch of my G-13's pictures (not all of them) and I can't see any number in that area. But I'll take a note about it and keep checking.

I've been to Bastogne today and the Hetzer/G13 of the Brussels museum is now there.
I had a close look at it and found on the glacis what could be a serial number: 126. Has someone found a number on this place (in the red circle).

I did a quick trip to Full today (my third visit this year!) and saw G-13 M-78011. It was missing since summer 2008. In 2009 I asked around and they told me it had mechanical problems, in July 2010 it was still missing and I was somewhat worried. Today it was there, it just came back from a walk, with earth and grass among the tracks. It's definitely alive and running, in excellent shape.

You've got a picture of the tank in Vugelles, that's great!

Thanks Don. I didn't listed Ft Knox's tank since it's well know and I had no new or additional info (see first message).
Pierre-Olivier's PDF remains the best reference you can get on surviving Hetzers/G-13s

Massimo

and now with even better pictures, thanks to Massimo.

I noticed that you don't have the G13 in the collection here at Ft Knox.

It is 'redressed' as a Hetzer, but it is in reality a G13.

It has been a runner for many years & was on display in the Museum. Currently it is in Richardson Motor Pool. It will be transported to Ft Benning with the rest of the Armor Museum collection,.....eventually.

Two weeks ago I was in Burgdorf, for Armeemuseum's first open day. Plenty of people, just a few hours and an amazing collection, but I managed to grab quite a few shots. The G-13s over there were:

- G-13 M-78003
- G-13 M-78022
- G-13 M-78029

Out of the other G-13s reported at Armeemuseum, I guess one could be now in Schaffausen, replacing 78029, but I am just guessing. I hope to check there next month.

I collected a dozen shots of the tanks above, for Pierre-Olivier and anybody who can be interested. It's a 12 Mb download:
