White Chalk Camo of Panzer III

This Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.J is an excellent example of how the Germans would improvise a winter camouflage scheme, in this case using chalk! Note the "scribbled" manner in which the white color has been applied. In the background is a pair of mittlerer schützenpanzerwagen Sd.Kfz.251s, probably Ausf.Bs. The picture was taken by Kriegsberichter Tannenberg on February 1942, on the way to Moscow.
