According to the website, the German Panther tank was destroyed near Val-de-Breuil on August 16-17, 1944. The tank carries two tactical markings, “I02″ over “231″, with some type of unit marking on the turret where the zimmerit is removed. Wartime Kent is a small, but interesting, set of photographs on Flickr of Kent during WWII. The set includes several photographs showing damage from V-2 rockets in 1945. Shown below are Bundesarchiv photographs of the German Sd.Kfz. 10 halftrack. (Sd.Kfz. = Sonderkraftfahrzeug or special-purpose motorized vehicle.) The Sd.Kfz. 10 was used extensively by the German military throughout WWII as a light tractor and prime mover with over 14,000 produced. The Sd.Kfz. 10 chassis also formed the basis for the Sd.Kfz. 250 light armored personnel carrier.  An Sd.Kfz. 10 halftrack tows a 3.7cm Pak 36 in Russia in October 1941. Both the tractor and antitank gun have a crude white winter camouflage, and several of the crew wear improvised camouflage over their uniforms.

During WW2, the Germans mounted the powerful 8.8cm PaK43 on a self-propelled mount based on the Panzer III/IV chassis. The tank destroyer was officially designated the 8.8cm PaK43 (L/71) auf Fahrgestell Panzerkampfwagen III/IV (Sf), but the Panzerjäger was nicknamed the Hornisse (hornet) and the Nashorn (rhinoceros). The Panzerjäger Hornisse/Nashorn was issued to the schwere Panzerjäger-Abteilungen (heavy antitank battalions) 88, 93, 519 525, 560 and 655.  Column on Nashorn tank destroyers advance in Russia in early 1944.
