Hello-
A number of years ago I found a picture on the internet and am wondering if anyone else saw it and still has a link for it. I have never seen the photo in a book. It may have been at a European (Austrian?) militaria website but I cannot remember for certain.
It showed a Panzer 4 tank commander in his cupola. He is wearing white camo, with the padded toque and looks really cold. He is not looking at the camera. There appeared to be a clipboard or notebook visible which struck me as, I dunno, a bit on the human side of the whole thing. In the background are a number of other Panzer IVs, and on the nearest one are a couple of tankers looking towards the camera. One might have a fur cap on and is standing on the tank. Everything is white. The ground, the tanks, the clothes and it appears to be snowing. Trees in the distance? I can't remember if the tanks have their skirts. I think tank tracks are visible in the snow and it looks like the tanks are assembled for an operation. No unit or uniform markings are visible. A neat photo which I would love to see again and bookmark!
Thanks for any help.
Brian
