Favourite WW2 Tank

Naturally the tiger, the timeless iconical tank of all times.

Makes me want to start up right away a new campaign on Steel Panthers: World at War, and forget everything else!

Nice pic. Any idea what unit  and where it was taken?
I recognise the insignia, but cannot place it. I imagine it is attached to IISS Pz Corps. But it could be Wehrmacht.

If you Google “Friedrich Zschackel” you’ll get a bunch of hits for tank pictures, with captions.  I didn’t check them, but one of them may provide the answer.

Thanks Marc and Moilami.
Was desperate to say: Das Reich, before Kursk.  Think I have the pic somewhere.

Was a very good idea!

Are you referring to the top one or the bottom one?

[Witt]

Careful which you choose. You will be judged by it here!

Moilami,

I think you should use THIS pic for your avatar. You can send the other one to ME since you don’t need it. I’m single, too! haha.

Now chose another one. A tank killer. Stug was rather good design.

A Jagdpanther of course. Beautiful shape. With sloping frontal armour and the L71/88.
Love the scene when one breaks over the crest in Normandy in Band of Brothers.
