That is the gun site for the Sturmgeschutz , Selbstfahrlafetten -Zielfernrohr 1A ( Telescopic sight for Self Propelled Guns ),

The sight is code BEH manufacturer Ernst Leitz GmbH , Wetzlar that is a remarkable find in that condition !!!

Do you know the location it was found it may be possible to determine the unit ?

I also find the ww1 russian shooting badge very interesting.

Most probably from a STUG and not Dicker Max

Continue ...
In late September, I had another campaign in the ravine next to my University.
Excavations were interesting ...
I dug a small shovel soldier, the German ammo pouch for rifle, several German gas masks, a detail from the electric cable (Siemens 1939) and Soviet badge. I also found a Infantry Assault Badge in zinc.
The land was very hard because of that I damaged the sign of my shovel.

Hi Seb, sorry to 'dig up' such an old post, but this one really interested me. One of my Order Red Star's was awarded to a Lt of the 16th independent signals battlation (Red Army) that fought in the area.

The citation specifically mentions him using a captured German 'heavy cable' for improvised communications. Perhaps it was this one?

Outstanding finds Sebastien.

Thanks for posting.
Cheers.
