Studying
the figures in a given photo often provides a key to identifying a unit
and/or location. The Fallschirmjäger (paratrooper) in the foreground is
from the 2. Fallschirmjäger-Division. The Geschütz Kommandant (Assault
Gun Commander) is Oberleutnant Paul Dahms, later a Ritterkreuzträger
(Knight's Cross holder), the chief of the 1.Batterie /
Sturmgeschütz-Brigade 286 (1st Coy commander / 286th Assault Gun
Brigade). Both units met and fought together during December 1943 -
January 1944, southeast of Kirovograd.
