Thumbnail image: Tiger 131 is towed

Description

This is a still from a British newsreel clip, only seconds long. It shows Tiger 131 being towed. Its turret bin is detached, most likely because somebody wanted access to the engine but could not turn the turret. Therefore the film should be made after this Tiger was captured, when its turret became jammed, but before it was repaired.

Everything in the film matches the description, by Major Douglas Lidderdale, of how he had this Tiger towed from Point 174 to "Red Cap Alley" on the 7th of May 1943.
