    Very much doubt if this could have been at the Seelow Heights. As far as I can make out, this is a KV-1 or KV-1A - although, admittedly, it is difficult to be definite in view of the partial nature of the image. Also, the burning tank appears to be an "early model" Pz IV or possibly Pz III. All this is suggestive of 1941 or, at latest, 1942. Best regards, JR
