And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.

Did he just got lost or was he the last to crawl out of some foxholes? Well, he doesn't look that dirty.

7.7.1944 Rear area of Ihantala, near the village of Kontu. Commander Börje Brotell is painting victory rings on request by the photographer. In reality, the markings had already been painted on 29.6. Ps. 531-10 (Brotells stug) destroyed 4 more tanks at Vuosalmi.

Ps. 531-10 is the one that scored the most victories during the hard fighting in the summer of 1944. With 11 confirmed tank-kills this StuG now stands as a monument at the Finnish Armoured Brigades garrison area in Parola, Finland.

Germans were also toying with the ones they captured. Result: Useless.

My vote for Flak 88 or some of its derivatives.

This ISU-152 assault gun, "1212", was captured on 25 June 1944 near the Portinhoikka crossroads. It was hit twice on the bow just below the gun. It was recovered for repair to Panssarikeskus (armor center) in Varkaus, where it was converted to a recovery vehicle ISU-152V. This was the first one of two ISU-152s captured by Finland during summer 1944. This ISU-152 stands today at Parola armored museum, converted back to its original outfit.
