Panzer Crewman of 7. Panzer-Division in 1940

An iconic portrait of a PzKpfw 38(t) crewman of 7. Panzer-Division, taken on 4 July 1940 in France. The padded Panzer beret, the Schutzmütze, was officially abandoned in favour of a field cap on 15 January 1941, though an exception was made for crews of the PzKpfw 38(t) due to the tank’s cramped interior. In practice, most PzKpfw 38(t) crews had switched to the field cap by the time of Operation Barbarossa.
