Default Re: obat 41 Yugoslavia armoured units

So as to not open another thread, I'm reviving this topic. A Serbian colleague was kind enough to provide me the information I was missing. A total of 25 PzKw III and IV tanks were indeed operational as part of the Yugoslav 3rd tank brigade.

The models used were:
PzKw III M
PzKw III N
PzKw IV F1
PzKw IV G
PzKw IV H


All except F1 are already present in obat38 Hungary, units 591-594.

Availability date was: 1/46 to around 1951-53 (probably best to phase them out when Yugoslavia starts getting the Shermans and other American tanks).

Source is: Razvoj OS SFRJ 1945-1985 - Kopnena vojska I p. 384-390 (in Serbocroatian only)

Oh, and one more thing: unit 358 (M7 GMC) should be available since 1/46 - the first shipment was delivered as early as 1945 (ref. to WinSPWW2).
