Consone, I have seen that Panzer portrait before and liked it. Not too common to see the Wrap actually fully buttoned up for a portrait.
Paul, another interesting pic. I would love to see more Narva-related photos!

Thats exactly why I bought it
I liked this photo as it showed a "Stalins Organ" KO'd with rocket still intact, also a T-34.
On the reverse....I need some help translating the location stated in the writing. I got "Uzensk". I cannot find this on my map of Russia. Online I found "Uzinsk", but it seems much too far Southwest to be probable. I think I must be reading it wrong, or have found the wrong location online. Any help would be great!
Use of French Somua S-35's in WH service! Looks like a parade or unit ceremony. Looks like one tank has a "K" for Gruppe Kleist -France.
Anyone recognize the building?
DKiG in wear. The Panzer officer looks familiar..... (killer cap too)
Anyone recognize the DK winner?
Nice pics mate.
Stalin's organ lol. Indeed that's how they were called.
Oh and also Katyusha.
Looking for the photo albums of Leutnant Emil Freitag, 3. / G.R. 377
I'd say it says "Mzensk". (See: Mzensk )

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Aha! Mtsensk! It is spelled differently than I have seen it before. HPL & Paul- Thank You very much. Its hard for me to read these writings correctly sometimes.
I just read something (after looking it up) from Guderians book about the fighting of the 4th Pz Division around Mtsensk on there way to Tula. They were hit pretty hard by constant T-34 attacks there. This photo must have been taken after the battles in that area.
Chris- Ive always liked that nickname rather than katyusha. A decent weapon for sure!
Ingrid- Thank you for the ID, much appreciated.
