So as not ruin anyone elses fun too much, I've scrambled my answer. (Sigh, too many youthful years spent as a gun nut I guess.)

Taken at Kursk I think. That lloks like similar photos I have seen taken by a photographer during the first 3 days of the offensive allong the front defensive lines. Those would be re-inforcements relieving the troops allready there (originals would not be carrying camp supplies but rather would have stashed them elsewhere.)

More famous is the photo of the AT gun under fire from the same person.

Awesome photo, I wonder how long those guys lived after it was taken .

Who knows?

If it is like the AT one that slit trench probably backs up to a sanbagged AT gun that the photographer was hiding behind. behind that would be a sod bunker dug down with ammo.

The AT guns were a mixed bunch- some dug in so that only the barrels lay open, some right out in the open.

Those fellows appear to be under mortar or howitzer fire. Odds are they did just fine as to be there relieving obviously the position wasn't one of those the Germans succesfully over-ran in the start of the offensive.

if those guys were at the front in real danger, then they were probably not party members
