Tiger One Research Question

I want to add stowage to my Tiger but I want to stay at least somewhat accurate, so I was looking for a photo of a Tiger with a log or two tied to the side and I couldn't find a single one. It's a pretty cool effect in an RC tank but I need to get at least one shot of historical proof that they did that before I tie one on, so to speak.
Has anyone ever seen (or has a link to) a photo of an actual Tiger tank in action with logs tied to it? I've searched high and low with no joy. Lots and lots of photos of models with logs, but no real Tigers. So far. The search continues.

Gidday Mr Max, theres plenty of pics on the net, and in books with the logs. I will however say I have never seen any picture showing the log in use as an unditching medium, or in fact anything else other than stowed !

Thanks, Guys. All good info, and now I can rest assured that logs on the side are acceptable and not just a Hollywood creation. After seeing the "Tiger" in Saving Pvt. Ryan I've become a lot more cynical and skeptical about what I see on the boob tube.
That's actually a pretty nice lookin' log in that last photo. That baby would heat my garage for a whole weekend.

I know once using a bulldozer in the winter..I needed to run it up on a log so the tracks wouldn't freeze to the ground by the morning.

It's a bit like the one in Star Trek, the captain apparently had one and it's mentioned at the start of every episode but I've never actually seen it?, although it could be that his name was Captain Slog, I never really figured it out.

Come on now, Wibb, you KNOW his name was James Tiberius, so by process of elimination ...

That picture I used as the subject for my own White Tiger build a while back
