Jagdtigers Surrender to 99th Infantry Division

In April 1945, Jagdtigers (Panzerjäger Tiger Ausf. B) of s.Pz.Jäg.Abt. 512 surrended to the U.S. 99th Infantry Division in Iserlohn at the Schillerplatz. The illustrations shown here are from the WWII G.I. Stories booklet Battle Babies: The Story of the 99th Infantry Division. The booklet describes the surrender as follows:

Iserlohn gave up at noon, April 16, when a battery of 128mm ‘Jagdtiger’ self-propelled guns surrendered to Lt. Col. Robert L. Kriz, 2nd Bn. CO, 394th [Infantry Regiment]. Unlike other last-ditch artillery units, the ‘Jagdtigers’ still had plenty of ammunition left.
