    The reliable 'M Kenny' on WW2f just made this reference, (I share the info with his permission) :
    There are pics of a captured SS 102 Tiger marked with a roundel and named 'Bretange' and another marked 'Colmar' used in the reduction of the Atlantic Ports (St Nazaire, Brest) The French used a number of Tigers, Panthers and Mk IV's for this campaign as well as a TII.

    I am told there are, in total, 5 known pictures of Tigers in french service, only one of those a Tiger II.

    These excellent shots of 'Bretagne' are 40% of them:
