Graf Strachwitz and Karl Lorenz from Grossdeutschland

 
Oberst der Reserve Hyazinth Graf Strachwitz von Gross-Zauche (left, Kommandeur Panzer-Regiment "Grossdeutschland") standing in front of his Panzerbefehlswagen's "three-ruble note" with number 0. To the right of Strachwitz is Oberstleutnant Karl Lorenz (Kommandeur Panzergrenadier-Regiment "Grossdeutschland"). This picture was taken in the summer of 1943 in the Eastern Front, during Unternehmen Zitadelle (Battle of Kursk). At the beginning of 1943, Panzer-Abteilung "Grossdeutschland" was upgraded into a tank regiment. At first, the commander's tanks carried two-digit tactical numbers: "01", "02", "03". And already in the summer of the same year, their numbering changed and in the Battle of Kursk the "befehl" of the regimental headquarters carried the numbers: "0", "01", "02". The same numbering, it seems, remained until the end of the war. At least for the summer of 1944, two command Panthers of the regiment headquarters with the numbers "0" and "01" are known. The battalion headquarters apparently had "classic" numbers with Roman numerals I and II.
