Here are some "Sandwich cars" and an assortment of self-modified armoured vehicles used by the Haganah in the 1947-1948 conflict.

^The armoured caterpillar is still a thing in the IDF, just a few sizes larger.

Those pictures are very strange to look at.

There was video from Syria where daesh used heavily armored bulldozers with suicide driver to deliver huge load of explosives, they were slow and not maneuverable but ATGM couldn't stop them.

If they managed to armour it so heavily that not even a TOW or Kord could get the job done, wouldn't that sort of defeat the purpose? Didn't the armour minimise the effects of the SVBIED? Or were those vehicles only armoured at the front?

Not much elf and safety in that workshop.....

And the Jeep with an MG34 - looks as odd as a Hummv with a DShK I guess the brits mostly took their guns home, but the germans weren't so tidy.....

The design didn't take off so it was a catch somewhere

All the "German" weapons in Israeli service during the War of Independence were Czech-made.

I‘m not sure but I think Hagannah agents bought WWII German small arms from Czechoslovakia right after the end of the war.

Anyone feel that improvised fighting vehicles and technicals will never go out of style?

In North Africa, field modifications saw some early B-26 Marauders modified with extra armor plate in the nose to protect the bombardier on low-level attacks. This AAF film shows interesting Marauder boneyard scenes.
