A Leutnant and NCOs pore over maps in an attempt to determine their
precise locations. Inside the USSR the German Army was plagued by
inadequate maps. The available maps were often outdated or of poor
quality.
Captured Soviet maps were highly valued and the Germans reprinted them
with overprinted German topographic symbols, place names, and updated
features. The hooded cover forward of the unit pennant staff is a
Notek blackout driving light. Triangular pennants usually identified
brigade-level commands. The metal pennants had three horizontal bars
with the center one in the unit's Waffenfarbe (arm of service color),
here an unidentified dark color. The partly hidden Wehrmacht eagle
pennant on the right fender was displayed on staff cars carrying
officers. The vehicle is a Horch Kfz15 staff car, a common type.
