A distant but fascinating photograph of the fighting of 2 October 1941 , which repays close study. In the right foreground is a Soviet freight train overrun on the
tracks- note two locomotives, one facing forward, the other to the rear. In the background several buildings are on fire, and the sky is black with smoke from an oil dump. In the left and center background, PzKpfw 35(t) tanks in company strength may be seen advancing under fire.

2 October 1941 Breakthrough

Blurred but interesting shot of the division's second echelon passing through the supply convoys of the first echelon- the large number of vehicles visible in this photograph is a reminder of the enormous logistic 'tail' necessary to keep an armored division moving.
The PzKpfw 35(t) on the right carries an air recognition flag draped over the crew bedrolls on the rear deck.
Note wooden stakes marking the edges of the rollbahn.
