Hi Guys
The Panther in photo 1 looks like I./Pz.Rgt.1, the second one appears to be an Ausf G from Pz.Abt.2101, Photo 4 shows another Panther from I./Pz.Rgt.1 and the last one is of course II./SS-Pz.Rgt.5. The vehicles in the third photo are too far away from the camera to make an I.D.
HTH.

These have been shown on WAF before, but several years ago (also appear in some books).

A Jagdtiger of s. Pz.Jg.Abt. 653, destroyed by its crew in Etterschlag near Munich, in Aprl 1945. Photo taken by USAAF Lt. Delbert Walden (my father) in 1946.

Best,

Thank you Greg! Rare shots you have there. I myself don't have any Jagd or Sturm cats - yet.

The SS-Panzer Reg. 5 photo was probably taken by Hans Schremmer, who was with the unit during the summer of 1944. Ernst Kurbjuhn was with Schremmer, taking photos literally side by side with him, so it could be his work instead. The burning farmstead in the background can be seen in others from their work at this time (see page 45 of Vuksic's SS Armor book, for example).

Thanks for sharing these!

Tiger 132

Hello Paul E.,
This is what I have been able to find out about Tiger 132:
"This was SS-Oscha. Walter Knecht's official mount, not SS-Uscha. Arthur Glagow's who had Tiger 124 himself (and was not much of an 'ace' it seems).
Tiger 132 is the only SS102 Tiger that made it back to Germany in early September 1944. The Fahrer, only known as "Heini", drove this Tiger all the way to the Köln area and was awarded the EK1 later for this."
I hope this helps. Sincerely, DJB
