Photograph by Major Wilfred Herbert James Sale, MC, 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters), World War Two, North West Europe, 1944.
Two members of 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters) stand next to a damaged German Jagdpanther. The Jagdpanther ('Hunting Panther') was a tank destroyer built on the chassis of the Panther tank and armed with a powerful 88 mm Pak 43 gun enabling it to destroy any type of Allied tank. The Jagdpanther's low profile meant that it was easily camouflaged.
From an album containing 266 photographs compiled by Major W H J Sale, MC, 3rd/4th County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooters).
