I've been enjoying the thread about the Vimoutiers Tiger I and - unless I've been using the 'search' function incorrectly - noticed that the Forum doesn't seem to have a thread dedicated to the near-legendary King Tiger at La Gleize.
This wonderful machine just has to be one of the most-photographed WWII relics in Europe. The first time I visited it was in 1987 and I must have dozens of pics from every angle, so I thought I'd post just one here.
Taken on a trip to Ciney in 2013. According to legend IIRC, the local cafe owner 'bought' the tank from a US Army salvage crew in exchange for a bottle of cognac, which must make it one of the greatest militaria bargains of all time !
