Panzer III Loaded with Infantry in the Rzhev Salient

This Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.J moves towards the front loaded down with almost 20 infantrymen. Note the new-style drive sprocket (introduced on the Ausf.H) and idler wheel as well as the hull extensions, which are drilled to accept tow hooks. There is a Notek head-lamp beneath the soldier perched on the near fender; note that both fenders lack their mud flaps. The picture was taken in the Soviet Union in 21 March 1942 during Battles of Rzhev by Kriegsberichter Böhmer from Propaganda-Kompanie (PK) 697
