I have some special treats for you today... :o
These pictures come from someone in which I personally know, he's a interesting and supprisingly upbeat character...he has a very active and impressive military history which includes A Silver Star, A Bronze Star, A Combat Infantry Badge, and a Purple Heart...

This is him in Germany...


He's on the left, standing on the beaches of Normandy, in which he came ashore..


He's the Driver...


This was "his" jeep, impressively equipted with a .50 Cal. One of his jeeps took a hit from an 88.


The following 2 photos are rounding up prisoners at the end of the war...

Downed Aircraft, in which i'm sure you'll recognize...






Yes, he fought at the Rhine...




...another rather interesting shot.. of a very fimiliar place; see if you can spot the B-17.  ;)
 

Captured Equiptment...


Sorry about the quantity of photos, although I don't post often.

The French heavy tank FCM 2C nr. 97, “Normandie” (former “Lorraine”), destroyed by detonation charges at Meuse, on June 15, 1940. It was being hauled by rail transport to the south along with other FCM 2C tanks, to avoid capture by advancing German forces. The rails were blocked by a burning fuel tank and the convoy couldn’t go further. The tanks had then to be destroyed by detonating charges. However, the failure of one of the charges allowed one FCM 2C to be captured almost intact.

The track is already off, the barrel is also down asif it is already burned out. It could be real, but i think they are shooting a knocked out tank. Also, i am missing the smoke of shooting the bazooka a bit.
I would say 75% fake, 25% chance of being real but they are shooting a knocked out tank. Do not believe this is combat at all.


I have an interesting picture here, seems to be Feb/March 45 to me (looking at the landscape)
An M10 TD with a forward firing .30 (are you listening here devs :p) and a shitload of sandbag armour. Also seems the have a strange design of hedgerow cutter. Never seen one like this. Also note the "winter" tracks. Something i would also like to see in this game once we reach the Buldge.

i also dont believe that this is real combat action and more like target practice on an already knocked out tank, but still the smoke has lots of artifacts and as you said no indication of the bazooka being fired.

It could be that the panther was disabled first, and then when danger was gone=COME GUYS LETS TAKE AWESOME PHOTO!

The germans did it, the british did it, Mericans did it aswel

I think the Panther was dying already and some guys with explosives decided to end the Panthers suffering but then this guy with a camera came up and said, "How 'bout you boys pose with dem bazooka aimin' at dem Pantha!".

Posed bazooka shot, real demolition of a Panther tank to avoid re-capture by the Germans. My theory.

I've seen that photo, and a couple other angles of it, before.  It was a posed shot.  They had an already knocked out Panther, and the zook team, so they posed the zook team, and had they take a shot a the panther for the cameras.

LOL look more closely at the smoke guys. Doesn't it look rather square-ish? ;)

Definitely shopped, and a really bad one at that.

If you mean the top part of the smoke, it could be a simple copy error that occurs once and a while when changing date to a different location. It does not have to mean shopped. It's not even a big error or the picture would just be corrupted.
