I know wher a pic of it is being fired at!

Thanks for posting the 82d link. This wasn't the same tank as 213, but it was another King Tiger of s. SS-Pz.Abt. 501 abandoned in La Gleize. Here's a closeup of what it looked like after the 82d recon platoon troopers were done shooting the bazookas at it (photo from the December 1944 Museum, La Gleize).
