Ger 81mm mortar and T-34, Stalingrad

Taken on February 4 1944 in the area around what is now Припять (Pripyat) Ukraine, The site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. I should also note that I didn't color his belt the wrong color as it appears. He's wearing a tan colored canvas tropical belt, which was commonly done late war. I've also heard that the soldiers preferred them over the leather belts because they were more flexible. Another thing I should note is that he has a Fallschirmjäger gravity knife hanging from his belt.
