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.
