Unique View of a Tiger

In this rather unique view of a column of Tigers. This was taken by the gunner out the top of his hatch. They are members of Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503. They're advancing over a hill near Belgorod, Russia on 13 August 1943. You can see why it was important to capture roads in Russia. Russian mud is infamous for bogging down armies.

I really like this photo because it captures a more personal view of the German army, which quite a lot of the time is not shown but anything more than the "enemy". All soldiers are just people, no matter what nation they're from.
