A thoroughly bogged-down Panzer I Ausf.B stands idle while it is prepared for extrication. Note the man in the far background who is running a tow cable out to another vehicle. The panzer is devoid of markings and should be finished in the two-color scheme of dunkelgrau Nr.46 base with dunkelbraun Nr.45 oversprayed. It is recognizable as an Ausf.B by the longer engine compartment which housed a Maybach NL38TR gasoline engine, as well as the lack of exhaust mufflers on the rear of the fenders. Note the black panzer crew uniforms and the quite oversized appearance of the berets, which covered a paddled inner helmet.
