    Some of you guys may have seen them before... for the rest; enjoy.

    Here one taken in the mainstreet of Kesternich, where the US 78th Infantry Division fought against the German 272 Volksgrenadiere Division.

    Great stuff.
    Do we know what did the damage? It looks like the right hand PzJgr. has had part of it's roof blown off.

    Great shots KG26.
    I love these then and nows, have a few ATB books (Panzers in Normandy, D-Day) and they are superb. It's the research that goes into identifying the sites that amazes me.

    It looks like it at least took one hit over the front right track which could have penetrated inside the compartment.

    Two Hetzler Jagdpanzer knocked out.
