Heer Help needed in identifying Panzer IV crew

[Naxos]

Can you help me identifying this Panzer IV

on the back is written in German: German Panzer IV attacks, Russia

front:

I enlarged the image and it looks like the tactical sign of the 10.PzDiv on the side: Ylll

am I right in the assumption that this tank belonged to the commander of the 4.Kompanie, 10.PzDiv ?

Any help is appreciated

Regards, Hardy

That would be correct. The Y with the 3 I's was used till sometime in 1943.

Thanks Laurence,

I did some research, and it is my understanding that:

4 stands for the Kompanie, 1 for the Zug (platoon) and the last 1 for the first tank in the Zug.

That would mean the tank 411 Ylll,belonged to Leutnant Radmann the Zugf?hrer of the first Patoon 4. Kompanie Panzer Regiment 7, 10. Panzerdivision
