A Crewman Hands a 5cm Round to his Comrade in the Turret of a Panzer III

A crewman hands a 5cm round to his comrade in the turret of a Panzerkampfwagen III, probably an Ausf.F. A number of later Ausf.F were produced with the short 5cm KwK38 L/42, while some had this weapon retro-fitted during major overhauls. This panzer has a winter white-wash applied, but is otherwise devoid of any other special items of interest. The crewman wears the M1935 greatcoat over his uniform with his M1934 field cap perched at a jaunty angle on his head. Note the ammunition boxes leaning against the road-wheels at the bottom of the photo.
