A damaged Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.E awaits a recovery unit on a road somewhere in France during the 1940 Campaign, while a German mechanized column advances. The condition of the suspension (broken track and missing front road-wheel) indicates that the panzer may have struck a mine. Note the group of French prisoners walking towards the panzer. The only visible marking is a dust-covered white-outline Balkenkreuz national insignia on the rear plate of the superstructure. The visible crew members wear a combination of M1934 black panzer uniform items and M1933 reed-green denim fatigue items.
