A friend of my father's told me he'd been in one of these knocked out by a Tiger - it shot the engine right out of the tank. He ran the fastest 1/4 mile of his life to get back to safety, with alleged Tiger in pursuit. Amazingly, no crewman was injured.
By the time he told me the story it was more than 20 years later, and he was a chubby little lecturer, so it made an incongruous tale - but I had no doubt he was describing a true incident.
