Seems likely. They must mix sand with some kind of concrete mix I would guess. The sand type and who mixed up the Zimmerit mix would make a difference.

There can't be too many division that had 8 Panther companys to get an 800 tank number. Panther deployment is something worth investigating. I don't think the Heavy Panzer Battalions had Panthers. Just Tiger's and King Tigers.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'm working from memory here...

Late war scene of a Panther crew awaiting orders, possibly Western Front

Information with this photo of a Panther G states "In action in Italy"
But I suspect the vehicle was either knocked out or abandoned

yes your correct cyberia it was knocked out i had another photo of this panther but side on and i cant find it it was a really good photo for showing the three tone hard edged scheme and the faded effect of the camouflage must see if i can find it

I had a feeling. I could not see any impact points, but the photo just seemed dead.
