Panther and half-tracks.(I think)
When used with the IR spotlight.(I think)
1) As someone already pointed out IR sight and searchlight, for a Panther, I believe.
2) Arse end (inside) of a periscope and a Nahverteidigungswaffe (in a JgdPz IV?): http://www.custermen.net/nahvert/nah.htm
3) US T18 75mm HMC, The USA went for the turreted M8 HMC instead.
4) KK has already identified it as a Hetzer, I can only add that it is an early to mid version (horizontal muffler).
5) T5E2. Based upon US M2 medium tank (aka T5 medium), used to test the hull configuration later used in the M3.
third one down a T-18 ?
Please Miss, I have finished my homework, can I go out to play?

That is German WW2 nightvision equipment. It was mounted on Kübelwagens, Halftracks or tanks. I don't know without looking it up which exact type this is. There were some variants for various vehicles. Some HT machine guns were equipped with nightvision equipment. There were even Sturmgewehr 43 assault rifles with infrared equipment.

That is an "Infanteriekarren (lf.8)" introduced in 1941. After the lessons of the Blitzkrieg in Poland and France, Infanteriehandkarren were introduced to enhance the mobility of infantry units, which had been hampered by the lack of conveyance for heavy infantry weapons (HMG, lt MTR, etc.), ammo, communications equipment and other supplies. In 1943/44 alone 79,200 of them were issued. They were mainly used in Grenadier-, Füsilier-, and Jäger-Bataillons as well as in Nachichten- and Panzerzerstörer-units. Weight empty 99.5kg and up to 445.5kg when fully loaded. There were various variants of wheels.
Sorry to disappoint you, Don, but the name of the horse is not "Shurliziter" but "Horst". Dunno about the breed, though. :laugh: Especially early in the war, the horses in the Wehrmacht were of rather good quality on average.
The creek is much likely situated in Russia regarding the date of introduction of this type of Infanteriekarren. It is likely a breeding ground for mosquitos of the worst sort.
All right, mixed up breed of horse and name of river, but I guess I am still entitled to the bonus points?
