I have no info on this one either - a burning Tiger II.

Same for this one - Sherman and Stug. at the edge of a cemetery.

Mobile Flak (3.7cm, looks like) on a Pzkw. IV chassis, from the US Army Signal Corps collection.

More awesome photos, Geoff.

I have high-res (800 dpi) scans of SC 200262 and 200660 if you want them.

The caption of SC 200262 reads:

"A knocked-out German tank is partially submerged in the
Our River near Welchenhausen, Germany."

Date: 7 February 1945.

Photographer: Coughlin

The caption of SC 200660 reads:

"These two Nazi half-tracks were knocked out by the 9th Air Force
figher-bombers, after they had taken to a ditch to escape the air attack,
while the 6th Armored Division prepared to move into Kalborn, Luxembourg."

Date: 7 February 1945.

Photographer: Lapine.

This photo is labeled 56218 A.C. This should mean it's from Record Group 342FH - USAF collection. K-O'd Mobelwagen.

Excuse me for interrupting this fine thread, but that is not a Möbelwagen, since those were built on the chassis on Panzer IV, and the tank in the Photo is definately a Panzer III of the middle production run, judging by its its back, exhausts, and side escape hatches. I have never seen anything like it , but my best guess is that it is some form of Bergepanzer, or maybe Instandsetzungspanzer. Maybe a field conversion?

[quote="Geoff Walden"]This Tiger I was photographed at Biscari, Sicily, In Jan. 1944.
(US Army Signal Corps collection, US National Archives Record Group 111-SC, #SC-321321)[/quote]

Whatever may be written on the back of the photo, that Tiger is actually parked outside 26, Corso Indipendenza, Acate, Sicily. There are 5 photos of it at that address. And more photos showing it moved to another location on the same street.

Some are private collections.
Some are (currently) on this page: http://www.tiif.de/thread.php?threadid=169
in which the same Tiger is farther along the street.

This is a standard Bergepanzer III.
