Despite the rigorous training pace of the prewar years, as with all militaries, there was time for drill and ceremonies and pomp and circumstance. This image shows a change-of-command ceremony for a soldier later assigned to Aufklärungs-Abteilung (motorisiert) 37 / 7.Panzer-Division. The date given is 1938, which most likely makes this II.Abteilung / Aufklärungs-Regiment (motorisiert) 7 / 2.leichte Division. A pristine Sd.Kfz. 232 (Fu) (8-Rad) is on prominent display behind the color guard
