        This is the photo by NARA. In January 1944 (from summer 1943) the Tiger was still here!!!

            Great detective work, Marco! I suppose this belonged to the HG Division?
            Any background on the engagement?

                  Yes I know that is the same photo...but this don't change nothing: the Tiger was destroyed in july...and in january 1944 was in the same place. This was my concept.

                    Hello,

                    Nice photo and map. Appears that Acate was a road artery to San Pietro. Probably why the Tiger was there.

                    My uncle was also there - with the Texas 36th Div., 143rd Rgt., B Co. He said it was a hell of a place. Replacements marching up and mules carrying the dead down to the valley below.

                    Here's a neat link about that battle and my uncle's friend and commander:
