Oh dear I seem to be having a German day today - don't know what's happening to me!

Anyway, harking back to the destroying Tiger IIs thread of a while ago, I found this site covering SS501's actions during the Bulge. Site includes a couple of short snippets of film showing Tiger II 332 at APG, not very good quality, but interesting to see how the track behaves during steering.

David -

Indebted to you for this outstanding link concerning one of my favorite subject areas. The info, pictures, and summary of events is outstanding. Everything thing from accounts of action to showing fields of fire of the King Tigers in La Gleize. If anyone has even the mildist interest in sSS PzAbt 501's involved with Kampfgruppe Peiper during the "Bulge", this is a must see. As with your OOB info you gave us during the "Battle of Bulge" Campaign, a truly noteworhty contribution. Can't thank you enough for providing this. You're a gentleman and a scholar.
