Renault AHN in Bulgarian service.
Trivia-bit: Bulgaria imported over 900 of AHx from Germany in 1943, becoming the the second most frequently found cargo vehicle in the Bulgarian army after Opel Blitz.

The Battle of Narva, early 1944. Tigers are of 2./s.Pz.Abt. 502 and other AFVs are from Führer-Begleit-Bataillon.
Spoiler
s.Pz.Abt.502 had 70 Tigers in its inventory on 19 April '44, followed by the loss of Carius' Tiger '217' (ko-ed by a 152mm gun) on 20th.
By late 1944, 502 still had some early Tigers left (some with switched turrets, or refurbished to the current factory standards). Couple of these veterans survived until the end of war - for example, '218' (built before 4.43) was destroyed by the crew at the harbour of Pillau on 24 April 1945.

One of two Tigers from schwere Panzer-Kompanie "Hummel" in a support of 15. Panzergrenadier-Division near Eschweiler, November 1944.
Spoiler
The unit soon lost one of its Tigers to antitank fire (19.11), followed by the death of company commander Hauptmann Hans Hummel, near Lindern (20.11).

Trivia-bit: Hptm Hummel was formerly the commander of the 2./s.Pz.Abt. 504 in Sicily, and was seriously injured in the knee on 11 July 1943, on the first day of the invasion - from a shot that penetrated through the escape hatch. 2./s.Pz.Abt. 504 lost 60% of its Tigers in the first three days of the invasion and there were only four remaining by the mid-July. The sole remaining Tiger '222' was ferried to Messina in mid-August, just to break down soon after with a suspension damage at Calabria.
