It is quite unusual to see the chassis number "90121" (which indicates an Ausf.B) painted on the box on the rear deck as seen here. The men and their machines are relaxing here in Central Russia, in July 1941. The StuG.III's of the Sturmgeschütz-Abteilung 184 bear two digit numbers. The tens digit is the Zug (platoon) number, while the ones digit is the vehicle number within a platoon. Two Geschütze (Assault Guns) were in each platoon, assigned the vehicles number "2" and "4".
