Re: 21 Division 22nd Pnzr Regiment tank colors

Like I said in Above post....Two Independent Tigers Battalions were in the area. schwere (FK) 301 and schwere PZ Abt 506. What Mr. Yamashita said was entirely possible with these independent Tiger groups moving about and avoiding Allied Air. Most of (FK) 301 did get caught by air....and others where taken not too far away from the area by US troops while loaded on rail cars. A single operating Tiger put in support of the 21st Div is NOT to far Fetched.


sPzAbt 506 also had a Company operating in the area in roughly the same time frame, (The book lists it as 4Kompanie) And it had a fuzzy B&W pic of a Tiger Overrun by US Infantry (Maybe the same Tiger Mr. Yamashita notes???) This pic was from an area very near Vosges
