The Tiger Tank from the 101st Heavy Tank Battalion during the approach to the Normandy front in 1944.
Nice picture Jim. The crew of the Tiger certainly don't look relaxed and exuberant as we see in other pictures of tank crews when in Poland for example.
Seems the picture istn loading, i saw a KING tiger at a very little war museam in belguim it took some damage on the front (hole on the front plate from almost 8 cm deep) but it didnt pearce the armor ( i guess the crew was deaf after impact ) hence the tiger was taken out when the shot of the left track - i try to find the picuture and put it online.
