Description
Allied troops are examining a Tiger abandoned by the Germans in Sicily in 1943. This tank was photographed many times, but this is the only photo that lets us read any of its tactical number; we can see that the final digit is "2". We know that the tank belongs to the 2nd company of s.Pz.Abt.504, which gives us the first digit. And we know the fates of Tigers "212", "222" and "232". This should therefore be "242"; and the missing set of smoke launchers on its left side is consistent with a known photograph of "242".
