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
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
IN the romanian version of wikipedia say the pic was taken on the river Terek in 1942 Google Traducere
I suspect you must mean something different than 'faith'- that refers to religion; are you asking about the unit maybe?
If anyone has or can find the copy of Signal, it'd likely have a caption about the photo- although during the war it wouldn't identify the units, just probably call the ground troops either Schützen or Panzergrenadiere (depending on the year) and refer to a 'Panzerdivision'.
I can tell you the Panzer III is from the 6. Kompanie, 3. Zug and is tank number 3, going by its turret number '633'; there're a couple of symbols on the right rear mudgard- the one on the right might be that of the 1. Panzer-Division...

Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...
My Signal book just says " tank 633 spots a Russian anti-tank emplacement and at once opens fire."

Ah, yes, well that makes sense- they wouldn't identify anything formally. So we're left with what can be seen in the photo, which isn't nothing, but it's not ideal...
