This beautiful color photograph on Agfacolor Farbdia paper shows a Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.J #556 from Stab II.Abteilung (company 5,6,7,8) of SS-Panzer-Regiment 1 / SS-Panzergrenadier-Division "Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler", near Belgorod, spring (April or May) in 1943. The panzer was equipped with schürzen (which had just been officially used!) And transported Waffen-SS members. From the three antennas attached to his body and the officers hanging around the front, we can tell that this is Panzerbefehlswagen (commander's tank). When it was transferred to Italy at the end of 1943, LSSAH left part of its panzer to be used by the SS Division "Das Reich" and "Totenkopf". This photo was made by Kriegsberichter Franz Grasser.
