This Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.J, driving through a burning Russian village on 11 October 1941, shows its chassis number, possibly 68435 on the superstructure front, to the left of the driver's pivoting visor. There is also a single-digit tactical number, a white-outlined "7" on the forward side of the turret, and a sprayed outline of a European bison just behind it, identifying this panzer as belonging to Panzer-Regiment 7, originally of the 10. Panzer-Division. It flies a pennant from its rod antenna. Unusually, the crewman perched on the turret wears his steel helmet.
