This is a German track link rubber shoe with a grooved pattern, in very well-used but largely complete condition. The rubber has some large chunks missing and shows signs of heavy use, but only minor damage overall. All maker marks and the 1942 date on the top are clearly visible. The shoe is solid, not breaking up or falling apart, and has been carefully cleaned making it perfect for display or any collection.
The rubber shoe pad comes from an SDKFZ 251 half-track of the 46th Panzer Corps and was recovered near the village of Gnilets, attacked by them during the opening offensive of Operation Citadel on 5th July 1943, part of the northern side of the Kursk Salient (5th-12th July 1943) in Russia. It comes with 2 x A5 laminated information cards featuring photographs.
