A fantastic thread as always Santi, a good read and well researched.

Just to add some more historical context to this photo , the man on the right Hein Reimers was Wittmanns Tiger driver when they were knocked out and all the crew killed on 8/8/1944 . Bobby Warmbrunn also became a well known Tiger Commander in s SS Pz ABt 101 /501 .

Today I received a batch of three photos, one of which I uploaded days ago with the image from the seller. So, two of them are in Kharkiv and I upload them to this thread. The third one is taken at the Minsk railway station, so I will upload that to the thread about the capital of Belarus.

I agree.

These other two books by the same author are also very interesting.

Some time ago, I don't remember how long, I bought this photo for my Wehrmacht horse and horse cart collection.

It´s a city in Russia and I liked it because of the huge tanks of drinking water that is distributed between the cisterns of the horse carts. I also hoped that I could read what the sign that you see says. Although I couldn't.

But until this week I had not noticed a detail. The tall building pointed by the red arrow…
