Re: Retreat from Ukraine 1944
Are you sure it is Panzergrenadier-Division Grossdeutschland? (GD was never designated a Panzer Division.) For the time frame stated GD never had it's own Panther tanks. In that period I/Pz.Rgt.26 was attached to GD as its own I-Abt was in France being formed up on Panthers and only returned to the Division late in the year.
The Panther in the photo has the turret number 501 which would indicate the 5.Kompanie which would be II-Abt but in GD the II-Abt were using Panzer IV's, not Panthers.
Could it be 24.Panzer-Division?
