Panzer Is and IIs during Maintenance and Training in Winter

A group of Panzerkampfwagen Is and IIs, representing at least a company-sized detachment, receive maintenance amidst the snows of winter. There are no discernable markings on any of the panzers, while the condition of the Panzer IIs indicate that no retro-fitted armor is installed. The various crewmen visible wear the black M1934 panzer uniforms, some with M1935 greatcoats. Some men wear M1934 berets, while one hardy soul to the left is getting by with a pull-over sweater! The photo probably dates from the winter of 1938-1939.

In blizzard-like conditions, another Panzer-Kompanie is photographed during training. The snow covering the vehicles makes it impossible to determine which models they are, except that they are Panzerkampfwagen Is and IIs. Several crewmembers pose for the camera wearing the M1934 black panzer uniforms and berets.
