Description
Tiger 02, a staff tank of s.Pz.Abt. 501, is undergoing maintenance. The item resting on two jerrycans is its engine air filter intake duct. The mud on the wheels is not unusual for Tunisia; the 501 battalion first encountered it on 7 December 1942, when rain made operations impossible for them. There are other photos of Tiger 02 being maintained and its engine air filter.
