Knocked out Panther Ausf. D from 1./SS Pz.Rg.11. in Narva

[Seth_Soldier]

the quote i've found:

Combat Group Mühlenkamp 5th SS Panzer Division (5.SS-Panzer-Division "Wiking") in the Nuzhets-Stacja (Nurzec-Stacja). In the front of the Sd.Kfz.251 armored personnel carrier is SS Untersturmfuhrer Gerhard Mahn. Counterattacks were made in an attempt to contain the rapid advance of tank units of the Red Army during Operation Bagration. In the background, the tank "Panther" Pz.Kpfw. V Ausf. G. G. Man in the same armored vehicle is captured in the following photo.

thx for the correction

(now that i've searched for logs pictures, i'm going to post them)


That's Ausf A late. Wiking had Panther Ausf D, early Ausf A, late Ausf A during that period.

Were those logs kept as a way to get out of mud?

Were those logs kept as a way to get out of mud?

Yes.  You put the log on the ground in front (or behind) the tank and then tie it to both tracks.  You can then drive forward (or backwards) by using it as an anchor.  Once it has gone the full length, you untie it and either tie it on again or you're clear of the mud.

Looks like a Panzer 38(t) of 7th Panzer Division. I assume it's in Russia since that marking was used after '41 ^

EDIT:


(Probably) members of the 2nd Armored Division near St Lo France, 1944 juding by the camouflage (and Google ). It looks like there are 3 different guns in the photo. From left to right; M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, and an M1903 Springfield with an M1 Grenade Launcher.

Actually, this 2nd image confirms it as a Springfield seems to be the same group.
