Hello

A nice view of JP 323 from s Pz Jag Abt 654, destroyed in the main street of Friesen, Alsace, on 22 november 1944, from this interesting site i found recently :

(two more pics of this JP in the site + some Panthers !)

The 654 lost two JPs in the action. This panoramic view shows the second JP lost outside the village (from the same site) :

This new (at least for me) shot permit us now to identify an anonymous wreck, published in the excellent Karleinz Munch's history of s Pz jag Abt 654

Mario Lippert has posted the Friesen JP photos Jean-Léon located over on www.panzer-archiv.de (no source credited Mario?):

Fortuitously 'APM' has been able to match the JP to the eg in Thun, Switzerland:

Hopefully the Swiss will eventually render this JP's finish more faithfully, now that some genuine refs have surfaced, instead of simply relying on the current generic approach - or worse, the garish fantasy we have seen recently in the UK.

Oh,sorry for no crediting the source.

Thanks for fixing it Mario.

In case people have difficulty with the link Jean-Léon found, here it is again:

A great variety of photos - 25mm Hotchkiss, Panther and heaps of interesting M-10 TD's... Here is another JP from that site:
