Villers Bocage, 13 june 1944, crossroad of Jeanne Bacon and Emile Samson streets.
Tiger Ausf. E n° 123, tank n° 3, second platoon, 1st company SS Pz Abteilung 101, disabled by a well placed shot from a 6 pounders anti-tank gun (hit on the left track).
The crew blew the tank, hence the severe damages and position of the gun. Same crew were later shot by MG fire.
Tank commander Oberscharfûher Hans Swoboda died four days later.

not in Michael Whitman's Tiger - not at Villers Bocage.

With no doubt, it was a miracle that all crew member survived.
