Hasso von Manteuffel using Field Telephone on a Halftrack


Generalleutnant Hasso von Manteuffel (Kommandeur Panzergrenadier-Division "Grossdeutschland") chatting through the field telephone while sitting on the Sd.Kfz.250 halftrack, during the battle in the Eastern Front, 1944. At right is a Gefreiter from Nachrichtentruppe (signal unit), possibly a radio operator. Interestingly, the corporal sported a Panzervernichtungsabzeichen in his right sleeve, meaning that he had at least destroyed an enemy tank by hand-held weapon, such a rare feat for a rear-echelon man!
