This pair of Panzerkampfwagen IIs (Ausf.A, B or C) break cover as they emerge from a forest. Both are fitted with extra armor plating over their curved bow sections, which as a result, are now squared-off. This extra armor was fitted as a result of experience in the Polish Campaign, where Polish anti-tank rifle fire was often quite intense. The lead vehicle is fitted with the original split hatch for the commander, while the only marking visible is a white-outline Balkenkreuz.
