P.M. History caught on film
Either someone is good with Photoshop or that is a German soldier holding a paper model

I think they did use paper models to study them, as there were little other resources to make big models out of.

As they were cheap to produce and distributed in large quantities, paper models were used by Nazi organisations and the Wehrmacht to train the personnel in F/F recognition (e.g. weak points in enemy vehicles). They were produced by the Berlin firm Dr. Matthiesen & Co. on behalf of the Wehrmacht or NSFK (for aircraft models). Some time ago there was a discussion about this topic here...

Neat. Thanks for the information. It would be awesome if there were still some of those kits gathering dust somewhere. that would be a collectors item.

The explanation certainly makes sense. With a model like that it would be easy to view it in three dimensions from the angles you'd see it in the field. Vehicle identification was, of course, extremely important in a tank war.
You know there have to be a few of these around in attics someplace. I hope they turn up before they're gone. It would be great to republish a few on the web.
