Plate01:This Sd.Kfz.253 DAK crew certainly have as much creature comforts as possible given their location and been very successful in adding their personal invetory. They have two catering sized cans that are or were full of what appears to be figs. The large tins are marked as “Spezial Delikatesse Frischgebaken” (Special delicacy baked/or cooked).
The tent pole stays are secured with Panzer I track-wheels and there appears to be a leather motorcycle pannier hanging off the rear of the Sd.Kfz.253 leichter Gepanzerter Beobachtungskraftwagen.
Of note here is the “bed-frame” antenna attached. These were needed due to the long ranges the war in the Western Desert campaigns were to have.
