Panzers of 7. Panzer-Division in the French Campaign

A Panzerkampfwagen I Ausf.B leads a column consisting of wheeled vehicles and Panzerkampfwagen 38(t)s during the French Campaign. From this angle the panzer is identified as an Ausf.B by the lack of a vehicle jack stowed on the right front fender (although some Ausf.Bs did, in fact, have a jack stowed in that position). A close look at the superstructure, next to the radio antenna, as well as the front plate will reveal an inverted "Y" with three dots, which was the divisional insignia of 7. Panzer-Division, which was equipped with the Pz.Kpfw.38(t).
