Great pics!

Although the one with Panthers can not be LSSAH at Kharkov in March 1943 as there were no Panthers on any front in March 1943. Maybe LSSAH but not Kharkov in 1943.

Great pics anyways!

Cheers,

Wolfkin

Ooo no!
I'm sorry. The comment is just for the first photo!

I should make it more clearly!

Oh, ok! No problem, Kocjo!

Well, I can tell you though, the third photo is in fact Kharkov in March 1943 as well and it is also LSSAH. The one with the Panzer IV Ausf G #226. This is Kharkov, I have seen photos from the same sequence. If you look by the driver's visor you can see the LSSAH "Key" symbol. The other ones I am unsure. Great pics though!

Cheers,

I know that. Why do you think, that I posted it?

The photo right below that one is also from that unit, taken on the same day, but another location.

Well, you said that "the comment was just for the first photo"

.

Anyways, the photo right below can not be "taken on the same day, at another location" because this photo has Panthers in it. That is if you mean the one with the Schwimmwagen, with Panthers in the background, right below the one of the Panzer IV Ausf G #226?

The Panzer IV is for sure Kharkov '43, but not the Schwimmwagen/Panthers. This may be LSSAH, but no units had the Panther tank in action in March of 1943. The first Panthers to see action were at Kursk in July of 1943 and this was an Heer unit anyways.

Cool pics, anyways

!

Yes, I was thinking on the photo below Schwimmwagen, the one with Kübelwagen. These two were taken in the same day.

Kocjo, do the Schwimmer (Knittel) and the Kübel come with a text on it's back? Any description or date?

Schwimmer must be Ukraine, February/March 1944.

Photo of Schwimmenwagen was taken in Ostfront on Dec. '43.

SS-PK Rottensteiner
Ostfront, Dez. '43

Vorwärts durch Schlamm und Dreck
Der Volkswagen bewährt sich auch auf diesen Strassen. Oft stecken die Räder bis zu den Achsen im Dreck. Aber immer wieder bewältigt der leichte wendige Wagen auch dieses Hindernis.
