General Harpe's 12.Panzer Division enters Minsk in the last days of
June 1941. Note the Pz.Kpfw IV Ausf. E at the left, which is equipped
with a very rare feature on tanks of this type-the smoke dischargers
typical of the Pz.Kpfw. II. The tank is also devoid of a turret
basket. In its place are hanging several stick grenades. Also
interesting are the markings painted on the rear of the motorcycles.
Each of them carries divisional emblems (the one with the sidecar even
has two) in yellow and tactical markings 1n white.
