Description
Tiger 121, commanded by Lt. Vermehren, was part of Kampfgruppe Lüder during Operation Eilbote. This appears to be 20 January 1943 when the group returned from a brief thrust towards Spikha to launch an attack towards Qusseltia. The Tiger has just come out of a pass through the hills at the Karachoum Gap.
This photo was taken only moments before another photo of Tiger 121.
