There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
That AFV suspiciously looks like a knocked out Panther judging by the wire roll behind the GI on the Rt of the flag standing plus you can just also make out behind his head the spare road wheel some carried on the Rt rear side of their turret.
Guy directly behind center of flag is holding what appears to be a captured pistol?
Also the insignia on the front of his helmet has been blacked out.
Good picture! Good stuff, thanks!

The droop in the tracks indicate a PzKpfw V Panther. I also thought of a Bergpather recovery vehicle but I don't see a box "turret" which is indicative of the recovery tank version but the angles look slanted. Therfore, a standard MANN turret (?).
The Civil War Book I am working on was an integrated unit with at least 4 African Americans confirmed.
