9th Durhamn Light Infantry on Churchill Tanks


9th Durhamn Light Infantry on Churchill Tanks
Churchill tanks laden with infantry of the 9th Durham Light Infantry pass a knocked out German PAK 40 7.5-cm anti-tank gun as they enter Schilberg, January 20, 1945. Note that an Allied 75-mm AP round has neatly perforated the gun's armoured shield. This may well have been responsible for the dead German soldier lying by his gun
