Any idea where this picture is taken from?
Work collegue of mine seems to think its Notre Dame.

That is not Notre Dam. Notre Dam is a gothic cathedral as well, but the facade is different.

I believe it is the Strasbourg Cathedral in Strasbourg, France. The Strasbourg, Cathedral was damaged during the war as well.

The Panther looks familiar. I'm wondering if it is the same one shown being hit, in a video clip posted some time ago by Charles Bronson. The same panther also appeared in some 'stills', shown after the battle, with US troops and vehicles around, and a similar church or cathedral, if my memory serves me.

I don't think it's either of them. Notre Dame I believe has double doors on the side "towers" next to the front door. Strasbourg's sides have the single door, but there are 4 figures on each side of the door, vs the 3 in the pic posted and the main door has 5 on either side vs the 4 in the pic. Very similar however.

If it is the same tank, then from what I remember, it was in Germany. However, The Panther in the pic is an earlier Ausf A, where I think the one in the video clip etc was an Ausf G.

You are correct. It is the Cologne Cathedral in Calogne, Germany. It is 100% the Cologne Cathedral.

Ok now THAT was an impressive find!

Thanks Chris - that's one of the pics I was thinking of. I had a feeling it might be Cologne, but wasn't totally sure.
