Its the little known Nazi superweapon the upside down firing tank, fired rounds through the ground that would pop up in the most unexpected places.

Looks like one of the Tigers caught in the bombing around Caen, shortly after D-Day )early July I think).
Other pics show total devastation, with Panthers, Tigers and PzKfw IVs at all angles, and in pieces.

... 3070582?

Found her!

"Duke," USA 3070582 of the 66th Armored Regiment, 2nd AD (right), was one of the last M4A1(76)s accepted in January 1944. It was photographed in Coutance, France during Operation Cobra. The rubber chevron tracks are the primary type seen in period photos of the "orphan" M4A1(76)s. For future reference, note that Duke has an "unframed" exhaust deflector, and lacks support gussets in the area of the air cleaners.
