During the Normandy break out, the British 7th Armoured column, was pulverized by Michael Wittmann and his Tiger, at a village in Normandy, Villiers Bocage. The  Bocage was the term/meaning the hedgerows/ undergrowth. Your T34 looks as if it was operating in the bocage, looking at the pictures. ;D ;D ;D ;D

;D ;D were the allies as eager to use captured equipment in the field or did we just send them back for evaluation?
