What type granade is the wounded man carrying on his trousers?

It is the M39 Eihandgranate also called Eihandgranate 39 or Granate 39. Usually used with the fuse BZE39.

Thanks. I thought you might know. We always see the others with wood handles tucked into boots.

Ah you mean the Stielhandgranate 24 ( also known as WH M24 ) with the (fuse) Brennzünder 24. Yes that's the one we may see almost in all pics or documantaries. In Poland we call it "tłuczek do kartofli" (potato masher).

That's true. No wonder... the BT tank series gave the soviet designers much of experience. Well.. IMHO it was a matter of time the T-34 could appear. Just they all drew the same conclusions. Also here in Poland ( see the 10TP tank )

.. here's a clever bit of re-purposing a BT tank by the Finns ... 1st WW, my guess. [Source Wiki]

Yep.. undoubtedly the Christie suspension was that allowed to get better tank traction.

"Well, Franz may have got the stereo, but we got the fuel, and the cigarettes !".
"Ja, und we could have had the furry dice too, but they were cheap, Far East copies !".

I just learned why the handles are made that way. It takes two to carry the Jerry. What do you expect? I'm a zoomie. I thought the trucks carry the fuel.
