He destroyed a tank with his machinegun. This might sound wrong or something but if I read that I imagine some sort of Rambo running up against a tank with a Gatling gun..

Anyway, what camo is that jacket? Italian?

Yeah, the 12th SS Panzer div used a lot of captured italian stuff, IIRC the aforementioned camouflaged uniform was manufactured using fabric acquired following the surrender of the Italians. Italian Navy leather jackets intended for submariners were very popular among the panzer crewmen. The division also had a lot of Italian soft-skinned vehicles ranging from motorcycles to 5 ton trucks, these were to be replaced by German-built vehicles when they were availible, however this process was disrupted by the invasion and the division went into action still with a large portion of it's captured vehicles.

SS-Otto Funck from the 12th Panzerdivision SS "Hitlerjugend" photographied after an assault.
He was from 15. Kompanie of 1st Battalion, SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 25 at La Villeneuve du Rots, who were to follow up the attack on Norrey-en-Bessin by the Panthers of 3.Kompanie. He destroyed a Churchill Tank with only his MG-42, firing the can of gasoline on the turret.

Mascot dog of JG 53 is standing next to Werner Mölders' 109. 56 kills so far, which means the photograph has been taken in February 1941.
