This Sd. Kfz. 9/1 of the maintenance company of 11. Panzer Division was used to remove an engine from a Panzer III. The sideward supporters were not needed for such light loads. Note the comprehensive markings and the white winter camouflage coat. The photo was made on the east front in early 1943.
