A Superb photograph of a Panzer IV from II.Abteilung / SS-Panzer-Regiment 12 / 12.SS-Panzer-Division "Hitlerjugend". As the numbers on the turret indicate, it is the fifth tank of 2nd platoon of the 6th Company. The architecture of the house in the background is typical of Flanders, and confirms the location of the scene, photographed in early 1944. The infantry hitching a ride are not Waffen-SS.Source :
