Panzergrenadier and Panzer Crew of Leibstandarte during Battle of Kiev

In early November 1943 the Soviet High Command launched a massive offensive to seize Kiev, the Ukrainian capital. The Red Army pushed across the Dnieper and threatened to open a breach between the Wehrmacht’s Army Group South and its neighbour to the north, Army Group Center. Since things were getting hot with the fall of Kiev, the 1. SS-Panzer-Division "Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler" was rushed to the Eastern Front from Italy to put out the fire. Here a Panzergrenadier, who was at the front for days, gives a situation report and shows particular targets in the field to a Panther crew during the swirling tank battles to the west of Kiev in late 1943. Large numbers of Panther tanks saw service with the Leibstandarte Division in the Ukraine, inflicting heavy losses on the Soviets.
