Re: Favourite WW2 Photo
Yes, that photo was one of a series taken of 1. SS-Panzer-Division troops on 18 Dec 1944 as they came upon abandoned American vehicles from Combat Command A of the 7th Armored Divison near Poteau, Belgium. A full account of this "photo op" is provided in ATB's Battle of the Bulge - Then and Now.
