here is a crew member of Panzer Artillerie Regiment 13 (13 Pz division) on the eastern front, january 44




he is going for resupply of 7.92 ammunition for the MG to protect the battery SdKfz 165 HUMMEL



he is wearing the gard coat, the warm model but heavier too (4 kg)
In his back a "Tragegestell" to transport the ammunition boxes
