A wreck of Panzer IV/70 (A) (09.1944 production) with "Thoma" Shürzen

Spoiler
Trivia-bit: Contrary to the Allied report, the on-board "gebogene Lauf" (bent barrel) for the Sturmgewehr 44 was well-liked by the crews: "The shot group at 100 meters; 35 x 50 cm. The upward drift demonstrates that the round tendended to force the barrel upward when hit the curve. We fired at signs at that distance. All of them were covered with holes. A precision-fire was not needed, area fire sufficed.
The bent barrel could be changed by the operator in a short time. The sight was in front of the prism and the aiming post was a flat portion on the muzzle." (Karlheinz Münch: "StuG.Brig. 210")
