On 30 March 1945 a group of 1.Kp. Jagdtigers fought an American armored unit in Schwetzingen, Germany, near Heidelberg.  Jagdtiger 131 was knocked out in the downtown area at about 200 meters range by a Sherman tank.
The gunner Uffz. Klein was killed by machinegun fire while abandoning the vehicle, and the radio operator died later of burns. The driver was thrown out of his hatch and the vehicle ran into a house.
