Foreign Use
Romania received one unit from the Red Army after the war ended. The Hummel was used by the 2nd Armoured Regiment with the registration number U069009. Officially known as the Hummel TAs self-propelled gun in the army inventory. The gun couldn't be used because it was missing the lock. It was shown to the public on the 10th of May Bucharest parade in 1946 with Romanian markings. All German armour units in Romania were scrapped by 1954.

Famous quotes containing the word foreign:
“There is a close tie of affection between sovereigns and their subjects; and as chaste wives should have no eyes but for their husbands, so faithful liegemen should keep their regards at home and not look after foreign crowns. For my part I like not for my sheep to wear a stranger’s mark nor to dance after a foreigner’s whistle.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
“There is the fear, common to all English-only speakers, that the chief purpose of foreign languages is to make fun of us. Otherwise, you know, why not just come out and say it?”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
