Photos of field graves for tankers
« on: 31-08-2013, 09:08:08 »
I'm working on a project and I need as many photos for it as I can find. What I'm after is photos of any size, black & white or color, of field graves for tank crews in WW2, any theatre. Not tombstones/military cemeteries, but graves dug nearby a destroyed tank for it's crew. If you have any photos like this in your collection I would appreciate if you posted them here, I have 20 or so already but I'm sure there's a billion out there.

Examples of the kind of stuff I'm looking for:





etc etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just some images from the net, you might have them already, but just posting them in case you didn't  :)



The graves of three German crewmen next to their destroyed PzKpfw III, said to belong to the 9th Panzer Division, Army Group South, Eastern Front. August 2 or 7, 1941. From left to right it reads:

Gfr. Gunther Rux(?), Uffz. Heinrich Schnell, Pzsch. Johannes Walther

Gfr. Gunther Rux(?), Uffz. Heinrich Schnell, Pzsch. Johannes Walther






Note the dead crew's graves are lined with tracks on the far left.


Grave of three panzer crew, Russia. Note: the wheel on the grave








By French air attack destroyed German Panzer 38(t), in the background the grave of one of it's crew members.


Poland




Aquino, Italy


Temporary British grave by Sherman tank near Termoli. October 1943
