Was there any basis for Pentland's painting? That Tiger is completely exposed.

There are a few pics of Karl-Heinz Turk's abandoned Tiger II after the battle, but are there any of Diers'?

That is quite a claim on his behalf!

Is there any witness testamonies or evidence to support this?

Phil i have read all Diers memoirs about the fighting in Berlin and have never seen this before !!! Or heard of him claimimg this before ??

He seemed to a bit busy in combat in his Tiger II !!!
