Rabbit or chicken?

[Ratch]

It is late winter 1945. The 35th Panzer Regiment of the IVth Panzerdivision is caught in the Courland Pocket in northern Lithuania. The snow has all but gone, though there was a hard frost this morning. The Panzer IV Ausf H has managed to rendezvous with a supply detail. Oil-drums and Jerry cans are clustered together, ready to attend to the needs of the panzer. The 2nd Lieutenant offers a rabbit he shot (for the pot) and the tank officer reciprocates with a bottle of wine. They sit on crates among the tools and various packs and tent rolls. On the table, a map, sub-machine gun, pistol and holster. The SS-Scharführer (Senior Sergeant), Waffen-SS Military Policeman hopes to ingratiate himself to share in the grub. Another member of the crew has spotted some chickens and deliberates purloining them.
