Possible sniper engagement, I limbing it here but would that be the rear end of an M-10 tank destroyer probably got the ID wrong but heck I do try (probably everyone's patience)
Thing with sniping out of a tower makes shoot and scoot almost impossible.................?

Your a deadman walking, they knew it was a one way ticket up those steps.

yep, back then men were men and knew it was 1 way ticket most times, but thats just how the american infantry man is, do or die , salute,thanx for sharing. Looks to be some sort of self propelled gun i would say as well.

[RT Ellis]

IMO it's a posed scene that the viewer is supposed to believe is an "action" shot.

I second that.

[CINDERS]

Cannot say posed or not but given the destruction and the soldier huddling the armoured vehicle we can guess and procrastinate about posing all we wish to, BUT! the thing to remember is the allied nations won the conflict that I believe got rid of @50 million people between 1939 - 1945 so probably just under say 10 million casualties of all types per year food for thought.

I would just like to thank Snafu for posting these pics to give personnel some idea of what the battle field soldier faced in their daily lives in the kill-eat-kill-sleep-kill-eat....... world that they lived in so we as a free people could enjoy the life that we wish even though Govt's try as others to break the people who like to collect and shoot military weapons. (sorry about Govt thingy but we suffer badly here in Australia with the Govt.)

Mind you a Russian Typhoon class sub or a USA nuclear sub could wipe us all out in a blink of an eye that's even more scary food for thought

The last time we had that photo, I looked at the town church and could not for the life of me find that angle...
