The bottom picture , or the one just above this writing,  almost looks like German's looting this tank. Is that a collared jacket with epaulettes?   

 

Yes, spoils of war

A destyoed Jumbo of the Co C 743rd Tank Battalion near Lohn or Neu Lohn? November 1944, 743rd TK Bn attached to the 30th Inf Div .

A Dozer M4 with it's Blade removed destroyed in Oberkirchen, April 1945. 31st Tank Battalion 7th Armored Division. We guess Dozer Tanks in a Tank Battalion were in the Battalion HQ Company, others I believe were found in a Armored Division's Engineer Battalion.

Massive damage to the cannon, think this is in Africa, also of note was the use of the 30 Cal MG rather then the 50 Cal for the Commander, something seen every so often on tanks, both Light and Medium, Tank Destroyers too no doubt. Tank has been destyoed as it looks like it burned.

Normandy, unit unknown, burnt up we see, tank may have been pushed off that road there after it was destroyed, flipping it over, or was it blown over when hit???
