Know this should be in Figures forum....but hey, look!!

It looks like the one guy standing next to the vehicle is taking the cork out of a bottle of wine while his buddies are fighting. Maybe he is getting some liquid courage.

Tim - If you'd tke a look at the Polish adventure series "Czterej pancerni" as I did (BTW, heartly recommended for all WWII fans, especially for eastern front), you'd know that's the way you prime a german hand granade. It basically had a shape of a small thinner dose, with something closely resembling a bottle screw-cap on the base. In most cases there was a wooden handle between the cap and the "dose", to assist in throwing. By unscrewing the cap, and pulling out the wire attached to it, you started the chemical timer, that would explode the granade some three seconds later.

Hope it helps (to understand), have a nice day

Actually I think he is waiting for a signal form the officer in black. He has some kind of detenator in his hands.
