From other shots on the same roll of film as this photo (which show the soldiers of the 3. Gebirgs-Division), it can be said that this photo was taken in late December 1943 at the Nikopol bridgehead. This brand-new StuG III with Saukopf mantlet may belong to the Sturmgeschütz-Brigade 278 (278th Assault Gun Brigade). Note the two antennas denoting a commander's vehicle.
