Description
This is an Early Befehlstiger. It mounts the antennas for its Fu 5 and Fu 8. Its unusual wide turret bin marks it as Befehlstiger "II" of s.Pz.Abt.505. The ad-hoc storage frames added to its rear match a much earlier photo of this tank. The addition of barbed wire to the side is typical of s.Pz.Abt.505 in late 1943. This tank was numbered "I" when new, but has been "II" since June 1943.
