Hello Gents,
Here's a few photos from a Panzer Rgt. 5 tanker's solduch. He was an upper tank man (gunner) who served with the Regiment from its inception. I believe he entered the Afrikan theatre with the Regiment on March 10, 1941.
After recovering from wounds sustained in North Africa, he was transferred to Panzer Rgt. 28 (18th Panzer Div.) and served at Kursk.
Enjoy the photos!

Any DAK items
Tim,
A true compliment. Thank you.
Here's a WP from a tanker of the 7th Kompanie / Pzr. Rgt. 5. He arrived in Afrika on September 1 and joined the 7th Komp. in the field on September 3, 1941.
After evacuation due the schrapnel/head wound, he joined Panzer Lehr as an instructor and later joined the 7th Komp. of that Regt. He was killed on June 10, 1944 during a ver heavy allied bombing raid on June 10, 1944 near Le Parc, (now Le Parcq) France [Caen Sector]. This soldat lies buried at Bourdon Military Cemetary.

Hi,
Here's a WP from a Panzer Rgt. 5 tanker (driver). He earned the panzer badge and later the kraftwahr badge in bronze during the later stages of the campaign - perhaps due to panzer shortages.
It's a nifty item and I hope the members enjoy the photos.
