I took these in a "salvage yard" while picking up a target for some 155mm howitzer direct fire practice. 1983
can any one identify them or the place?

[M-37Bruce]

Must be Ft. Knox?

[bigflew]

Grafenwoehr Germany. Or should I say Federal Republic of Germany.

 

[Crash_AF]

It says Graff on the side of the last pic, which would make Chuck the winner... LOL

Later,

Only if that is the location. It may have been at Graff then moved to the other location. This was my best guess. I never served in Germany but I did hear enough from my fellow soldiers to know what Graff was. I hope to get to Germany one day but my short straw sent me to Korea.

Its Graf when I was in WLC at Graf last month I saw a similar scrap yard.

The APCs are US-made M114 APCs. The Sherman looking thing with the boom on top is a M31 Recovery Vehicle, and in fact, based on the Sherman hulls. The tank after that is a M48-series US tank. Then a Dodge Power Wagon military variant of some sort, looks greatly modified. The 5th picture is a French-made AMX-13 light tank.

That's and interesting way to construct a retaining wall

 

[Pawnshop]

What is the wheeled armor thingie in pic #7?

 

[SETOYOTA]

The dodge looks to be a wc56 command car. very very rare and worth some bucks. I like the other dodge with the fake tank body on it

 

[gmayor]

In pic#3, I think the tank is a M47 Patton.

 

[tm america]

wow i sure would like a piece of the retaining wall those m114s look like they are brand new and just tossed in the scrap pile what a shame

 

[bigflew]

Graff is corect. The m114s were all new I remember the highest milage on ones I looked at was 27 miles Moment of sllence please.
