A Befehlspanzer on the Russian Steppe

A Befehlspanzer (commander tank), based on Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.J or L, sits next to a peasant's home on the open steppes of the Soviet Union. There are two rod antenna masts, one on either side of the panzer, as well as 20mm spaced armor on the mantle and the superstructure front plates. This panzer also seems to be mounting the longer L/60 version of the 5cm KwK39 main gun. The picture was taken at Kharkov region in 1943.
