7. Panzer-Division in the Eastern Front

A Wehrmacht armored unit is seen resting on the sidelines of forward movement in Russia, in the summer of 1941. From the "Y" shaped markings written on the gepack-kasten (storage bin) on the back of the Panzer III on the left, we can find out that they are from the 7. Panzer-Division. This German medium tank is painted in dark gray (dunkelgrau), as well as Sd.Kfz.251 and other vehicles in the background, except the Kübelwagen car - which is likely to be used for reconnaissance missions - that painted in dark yellow ( dunkelgelb). This photo itself was taken from the air at low altitude by an unknown Kriegsberichter (war correspondent), possibly on a light transport aircraft Fieseler Fi 156 "Storch". During the Unternehmen Barbarossa (German invasion of Russia), 7. Panzer-Division operated in the middle sector of the Eastern Front, under the command of Generalleutnant Hans Freiherr von Funck who replaced the legendary previous commander, Erwin Rommel. The division started the campaign with 400 officers and 14,000 men.[32] By January 1942, six months from the start of the offensive, the division had suffered 2,055 killed, 5,737 wounded, with 313 missing and another 1,089 sick with frostbite and louse-borne diseases.
