In this volume of "Found In The Archives", we track down some documented war trophies, specifically a rare Second World War German Ferdinand Sturmgeschütz mit 8.8cm PaK43/2 also known as the Sdkfz.184 and later called the Elefant (after improvements).
This particular example of the assault gun was captured on film in Italy and is the very same vehicle that lives in Fort Lee in the USA and which had a short stay at Bovington Tank Museum in the UK too.
Other captured goodies can be spotted on film as well.
