Cool

This is very weird - s.Pz.Jg.Bt 653 weren't even used in the Battle, according to my sources !

They reported 9 Jagdtigers on strength, and were held in reserve for Operation Nordwind , going into battle in Northern Alsace on January 6th.

Possibly one of our Jagdtiger experts ( mkenny, for instance ) can throw further light on this.

In any case, Chaumont is close to Bastogne where no heavy Panzers were engaged....

As an aside, I must say that Robin Cross is up there with Charles Whiting and Robin Neillands as, er...not one of my favourites. [img]graemlins/no.gif[/img]
