Wanted to share this photo with the forum. Was wondering if anyone else had seen this one before.

I have included a shot of the reverse as well.

Any ideas on the tank shaped device on his left shoulder?

This photo is in a number of books on the subject of Ost troops including "Uniforms and Insignia of the Cossacks in the German Wehrmacht in World War II (Schiffer Military History Book)"
