    This picture is probably familiar to some; it was apparently offered on eBay recently and I noticed it on the "Tiger Im Focus" forum. This is a Jagdtiger of s. PzJgr Abt. 653 that was destroyed by its crew in April 1945 at the village of Etterschlag, west of Munich. I have an interest in this vehicle because my father took some photos of it when he was in the Occupation Army in 1946, and I had not seen this Signal Corps photo before.

    Hi Martin,

    These are the pics of that Jagdtiger that I'm more familiar with, that my Father (a Lieutenant in the USAAF) took.

    Best,
    Greg
