discussion Lemmy

[Guest]

Hi everybody, its a bit left-field this one.

In this months "Classic Rock" magazine, page 96, there is a picture of Lemmy (frontman of Motorhead) commanding a fighting vehicle of some sort. Can any of you guys inform me what it is ?

I know its a long shot because some of you will not have access to the magazine, but if you don't ask, you will never know

Thanks

If you can post a pic of the pic that would help.

Don't know about other members but Classic Rock is not a mag I get and i'm not likely to spot it on the local shop shelves here.

Regardless of what it is, the fact that Lemmy is driving it makes it infinitely cooler

Make a nice Dio, with an ace of spades decal or two.

Hi m1ks, yes it would be easier to post a pic, but it is copyright material.

Description: A squared off tortoise/turtle body ( vehicle, not Lemmy ), no turret with sides that slope at 45deg ish, gun barrel off to one side and it has tracks.

Lemmy is dressed in a German military uniform.

As for the coolness factor, my jury is still out. The man is a living legend but if this vehicle is/was a lame duck, then his PR people need a word with themselves.

Thanks and erm................Rock on!

Sounds like a Sturmgeshutz (Stug).

The Germans built these as a turretless tank for use in the anti-tank and mobile artillery role.

Thee are many different models (and many more knowledgeable people than me out there) so a picture would help.

You could also browse the web looking for Stug or Sturmgeschutz. That will at least give you a chance to find out if you're looking for the right thing!

Thanks PJP I did a quick search with your recommendations, but no luck.

Then I just used " turretless tank ww2" and this came up. Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer, which is near identicle to the one in the pic.

Were they any good ?

Has Lemmys coolness factor been damaged by association ?
