A rifle squad takes a Feuerpause. The MG34 has a 50-round basket drum
magazine fitted. The Number 2 assistant gunner carried four basket
magazines in a metal carrier (Gurttrommeltrager 34) and a cartridge
case while the Number 3 carried two cartridge cases (here
Patronenkasten 34). Both the Numbers 2 and 3 carried a spare barrel.
The white undershirt is apparent on the machine gunner. The tunic
sleeve was usually rolled up in such a manner that the conspicuous
white shirt sleeve could not be seen. Summer 1942.
