Bill ; Do you think like I think that this panther got nailed from an air attack ?. Is it my eyes or is there an added slab of armor to the one visible side of this tank. Looks like a field mod .Comment

I believe that the Army Air Corps was trying to take credit for knocking out that Panther. Actually to my understanding it was being used for target practice by some Army unit which was not unusual. The USAAF sent teams around to claim their kills by taking photos of them whether they knocked them out or not. I have two of the very same photo of this Panther in my collection that came out of GI photo albums. These Panther pics were printed up in various quantities by the photographer and sold as souvenirs to the GI's.
Since we are on the subject of knocked out German tanks....here are a couple of new arrivals
