for the modellers out there here are two plates of two vehicles that were used by 512 but destroyed before the surrender i will try to find the photo graphic evidence to these two plates that i have

Now that is service with a smile on it LAH!! I really liked the smaller side pic of the shell hit on the last page, AND the couple kill rings painted up, I always thought they were in a hurry retreating, but they must have found the time somewhere to do that.

My next thought is, what were the U.S. forces thinking when they saw what was arrayed against them, IF they would have had to assault these beasts in the town, if they did'nt surrender??? Any thoughts or clues there, the PF stack looks interesting as well, well equipped I see there as well (but I wonder how full their gas tanks were?)

Cheers, you made my day LAH with your great pics!!

Outstanding, as per your usual LAH! Thanks also for the color plates, I never knew that the Nashorn ace Albert Ernst ended up with a Jagdtiger. Now can you come up with any info on Otto Carius's Jagdtiger?

[LAH 1 SS]

well unfortunately i am unable to obtain photos of one of the mentioned colour plates but here is the other one the caption states that it is a vehicle of 653 however it is a vehicle of 512



here is x7 of 512

[LAH 1 SS]

hm after some more research apparently the first one of these two jagdtiger is suposed to be x1 oberst albert ernst's mount however i cant confirm as i cant ake out any command tank features in the photos it is to heavily overlayed with branches etc

The 331 Otto Carius JagdTiger paint scheme is an interesting one. Was that unique or did other vehicles have the same ?

Many of these 'surrender' pics appear in one of the 'Panzer Wrecks' volumes and are among the best pictures in the series (I don't have the recently released volume 4 yet). On close inspection, almost all of the Jagdtigers have scars from impacts...some of them quite large. A pretty good indication of how much armour these beasts carried. Truly a spectacular vehicle.
