"Operation Panzerfaust"

The soldiers of the 600th SS-Fallschirmjager-Battalion rest atop a PzKpfw VI Ausf. B "King Tiger". Unfortunately, the only connection between the original and the nowadays photo is the statue from György Vastagh, as it was damaged during the war and was relocated to a new place after restoration.
