'Allo, 'Allo ... "Wiking" on the phone ...
Happy-looking Waffen-SS Schutz of 5th SS Panzer Division, "Wiking", communicates with the rear by field telephone. This was probably in the course of the Division's relief of the relief of the Kovel encirclement, March-April, 1944. The tanks in the photo appear to be PzKpfw V Panther G type. The lead tank may be a command version - although the usual array of radio aerials is not visible. Best regards, JR.
