German forces from Heeresgruppe Süd operating at Terek River, Caucasus, Soviet Union, September-November 1942. This Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.J or L has the frame for additional spaced armor on the mantle, but the armor itself has not been fitted, due to production shortfalls. That on the superstructure front has been fitted. This particular panzer is unique in that it has what appear to be either S-mine or smoke dischargers mounted on each fender, just behind the mud flaps. There also seems to be a third discharger mounted just forward of the rod antenna.
