Damaged Jagdtiger left behind in Kamschlacken, Osterode am Harz. According one testimony, Jagdtiger broke its narrow transport track whilst trying to reserve into the wood for better cover, yet another more colorful version claimed that the track (and the gun mount) got damaged by 76 mm rounds, while trying to fend off a column of American M4s.

Sounds great! I wish to visit there one day as well.
It seems like almost every single type of German AFV, new and old, was pushed into action in that area.

StuG III Ausf. G from 05-9.44 MIAG production line. The mount for Rundumfeuer MG and Nahverteidigungswaffe opening has been sealed off at the factory due to production bottlenecks. As availability improved, these were mounted on every StuG completed after September 1944.

So looking these last 4-5 images, I noticed that German soldiers have big hairs, or should I say, they could have haircut they wanted. Most of them are cut from side and have long on top  ;D
Question: was there any rule in German army about haircuts, or you could cut as you want but in combat you cant do that often?

The haircuts you see there are the standard reg haircuts.  There were many cut types worn, but those are all pretty much norm regulation cuts.

Basically, the only rule was that the hair should not touch the collar or the ears
