German Mobilised Artillery (StuG) Crewman Photographs

Three photos belonging to a mobilised artillery crewman noticeable due to his light grey uniform. Whilst similar to the panzer uniform the main difference of these uniforms was its colour and red piping. Mobilised artillery units drove tracked vehicles like that of the StuG, Jagdpanthers and Jagdpanzers. These were turretless “Tanks” were fitted with built in guns on tank chassis. This soldier “Hans” would have almost certainly have served on the western front in 1944-1945. Two pictures depict him in his German uniform however the third he wears US army uniform so he would have likely been captured/ surrendered to US forces and gone on the serve with them. A lovely group of photos, with them being related to mobile artillery they are rarely encountered.
