FW219              “Captured Mk. IV Tank” (German Version)

When the first British tanks appeared on the battlefields of France the opposing Germans had, quite literally, nothing to oppose them with.

However, always ever resourceful it did not take long to capture and reuse British tanks, such as this one, against their former owners!

This mud-covered, multi-coloured monster is typical of the unique camouflage paint-scheme adopted by the Germans at this late stage of the War.
