What is this emblem on this SdKfz

[Saint-Exupéry]

hi to all...

this marking is not clear for me...

I think that this photo was taken in Charkow

Great photograph.

Are you familiar with the magazine "After the Battle" issue 112 was on Kharkov and a photo on page 6 I would say was taken the same day as yours. It is on the same bridge and taken about 10m away from your one, maybe by the same person, who was Kriegsberichter Reindl during 1st battle of Kharkov in 1941. There is a second photo taken at same location in 1943 on page 10. I can scan and send to you if you cannot find the magazine.

thanks!

I am interested by these photos.
I know there are another or similar photo but I don't find it.
For me, my photo was taken by the Kriegsberichter Mittelstaedt. I have a lot from this reporter.

Going back to the original pic. The PPSh 41 slung on the vehicle is very cool, looks like an extra 35 rd. stick mag as well. Great pic!
