Panzer III Parked in a French Town

This worn-appearing Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.E is parked on a street in a French town during the campaign of 1940; note the sign on the tree behind the panzer. Barely visible on the superstructure side, just forward of the white-outlined Balkenkreuz, is the "XX" insignia of the 9. Panzer-Division, which took part in this campaign as part of Heeresgruppe B (Army Group B). The tracks are the narrower 38cm type, with smooth faces on the links. Note the large flag attached to the rod antenna, as well as the smaller one on the bow, next to the fender.
