This is a German track link rubber shoe with a grooved pattern, in very well-used but largely complete condition. The rubber is missing some chunks and is heavily worn likely from extended use rather than battle damage. All maker marks are intact, and it unusually bears a 1941 date on the top, which is clearly visible. The link is solid, not breaking up or falling apart, and has been carefully cleaned, making it ideal for display or any military 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 during the opening offensive of Operation Citadel on 5th July 1943, as part of the northern assault on the Kursk Salient (5th-12th July 1943) in Russia. It comes with 2x A5 laminated information cards featuring photographs.
