LEFT BEHIND: NORMANDY, FRANCE 1944

Looks like this Tiger II of s.SS.PzAbt.503 was abandoned by its crew, a victim of mechanical
problems or lack of fuel, the SS had one dozen in the field, besides added Tiger Is and Panthers. This Tiger has a Porsche turret and was armed w/the deadly 88mm L/71 gun.
