Panzer III Crossing the Pontoon Bridge

This Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.E or F carefully makes its way across a bridge constructed by an engineer bridging column; note the prefabricated appearance of the bridge’s construction. In the foreground, two soldiers take advantage of the river to refresh themselves. The panzer has appliqué armor bolted to the upper glacis as well as a plate on the superstructure front. There is also a storage bin on the turret rear wall. The way the turret reflects light makes it impossible to read what may be a tactical number on its side wall.
