If you can wait until tomorrow night I have at least a dozen photos. Some of them are after it was pushed in a ditch.
Then I will post them tomorrow if nobody does it before me or PM me and I can e-mail them.

There are some other pics at the link I posted, not sure which one is best so I didn't post them all.

Hope that helps.

Im sure glad I came to armorama,

you guys are awesome thank you very much


from the damage it looks like this was taken out by Pioneers. the scribled out portion of the graffiti is Pi.btl 111 wondering if they were attached to Herman Goring Regt even though at the time HG just consisted of flak units which were attached to the 11th PZ.
