PANTHER Tank dealing with the hedgerows in Normandy
On the left 2 pretty rare "SWS" (Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper => Heavy Wehrmacht Tractor) which have been produced from December 1943 until April 1945 - pretty advanced in technology but too complicated and over-engineered like a lot of German gear during WW2 (and still we Germans tend to "over-engineer stuff)
The SWS was produced in different version - one of them was a fully armoured version with either AA-gun or rocket-launcher "Nebelwerfer"
I don't remember exactly the location of this photo but was taken after the surrender of a whole group of "Jagd-Koenigstiger" at the end of WW2

Amazing how flat the collar is. Probably from the Mae West I presume.

Nice photo, Steve. Any info on the aircrew? The aircraft looks like a Beaufighter....

Yes Bristol Beaufighter, one of my favourites. I didn’t make a note of the crew but will endeavour to retrace my steps.

Can't believe I haven't posted this here before - probably because it hasn't got a military thing to it but...
I've always thought ever since I was a teenager this was one of the "coolest" photos ever. James Dean, the West, boots, jeans and everything all rolled into one.
One of the coolest photos ever IMHO.

What is the prickly apparatus coming off the engine cowling?
