File:Tiger II punctured in front turret.jpg

Summary 编辑

Caption from photo in Tigers in Combat II (p. 237) states:

"The tanks saw only limited action during the final days of August 1944, when they were employed in an effort to eliminate the US bridgeheads over the Seine River in the vicinity of Limay. This tank was knocked out by a hit through the gun mantlet. The hull proved impervious to the preceding hits."

[Note: The penetrating shot is actually in the front turret plate - most sources would reserve the term "mantlet" for the flange shaped base of the Tiger II's gun - this section of the book was probably written by Horst Wendt rather than Wolfgang Schneider].

Rationale for Non-Free Fair Use:

Photographs of 虎II坦克 tanks punctured anywhere in their frontal armor as the result of combat are exceedingly rare. This photograph may be the only one of its kind, and documents that it could be accomplished, although the circumstances (type of gun and ammunition used) in which it occurred are unclear.
