This slide is from the estate of Siegfried Keller, which belonged to Panzer-Abteilung 8. The Panzer-Abteilung 8 was formed in October 1943 as replacement for the destroyed Panzer-Regiment 8 and was assigned to 20. Panzergrenadier-Division. The detachment was established in late 1943, and there is no information about Keller's previous career. This tank, Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.G, chassis number 82849, was sent to the unit in May 1942. The entire surface is factory painted in Tropen 2 scheme, but inside of the hatches remain gray as seen, and it suggests that gray painted parts was assembled at the factory and painted in Tropen 2 before shipment. The gun tube was later installed, therefore the gray primer color is retained. The spare wheel at the front is in red primer but when you look at it closely the center hub is painted in Tropen 2. Other interesting features like red cross painted on the superstructure front, light gray fire extinguisher, etc. Source : Akira Takiguchi photo collection https://www.axishistory.com/about-ahf/153-germany-heer/heer-other-units/9181-panzer-abteilung-8 https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10222991026797609&set=gm.1662913953894021 https://panzermaenner.blogspot.com/2021/01/panzer-iv-of-panzer-abteilung-8.html

The photo was taken by General Rommel himself. They are not hindered by Allied aircraft because the German air superiority ensures them a "safe trip" (at least from the air) along the way!
