I just finished my su-122 sp and was thinking about painting it in the camouflage of all white with the trees painted on its sides. Can someone please tell me which division and what battle this particular vehicle fought in? I think it might have been in the wars against the finns.

If it was used against the Finns, it would have been during the Continuation War, rather than the Winter War of 1939-40. It's fair to expect that it would have seen time up north in 1943, but I don't have any evidence of that.

This is clearest version of the photo I've found on-line



There's a hazier view taken from the opposite side on the Russian Battlefield. IIRC the location is Leningrad (but I might be wrong). They probably belong to an SP regiment acting in support of rather than forming part of any division. I'll check Steven Zaloga's book on the Eastern Front to see if he mentions any unit affiliation.
