    A photo from the NARA.

    Caption reads:

    "Four bazooka shells pierced the armor of this German
    tank which carried a 308-mm howitzer. The tank, one
    track gone, was knocked out on the western front."

    Date: 19 March 1945.

    Location: Rodingen, Germany.

    III-SC 202872, Credit NARA.

    Does anyone know the German designation for this vehicle?
