7.7.1944 Rear area of Ihantala, near the village of Kontu. Commander Börje Brotell is painting victory rings on request by the photographer. In reality, the markings had already been painted on 29.6. Ps. 531-10 (Brotells stug) destroyed 4 more tanks at Vuosalmi.
Ps. 531-10 is the one that scored the most victories during the hard fighting in the summer of 1944. With 11 confirmed tank-kills this StuG now stands as a monument at the Finnish Armoured Brigades garrison area in Parola, Finland.
