Disabled and destroyed tank photos
« on: April 23, 2013, 10:53:55 PM »
I hope this is the right place for this thread...

I stumbled across this today and had a browse through it. Some of the photos sent shivers down my spine, others made me scratch my head and say "how did that happen?"

In any case  :salute to all the crew members, no matter what side they fought for.

I believe the Jagdpanther in #8 is now in the Imperial War Museum. Also, that Panther at the end is in front of Cologne cathedral - there's film of its final moments.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
