Jagdtiger "115"s' Pz Jg Abt 653, Schwetzingen, Germany 30 March 1945

On the afternoon of 30th of March 1945, three Jagdtigers (115, 131, and one unknown) from 1st Co./653 under the command of Lt. Hans Knippenberg are ordered into combat at Schwetzingen area to counterattack the American spearhead near the city. A truly inspirational build from Gary Kwan.

Adie Roberts continues his inspirations series to help modellers of all abilities to work out of their comfort zone building dioramas or just trying new builds. 

Knippenberg's Jagdtiger tactical No. 115 becomes stuck at the edge of a field in northern Schwetzingen and the vehicle is immobilized.

The crews then blow up the vehicle by panzerfaust without any personal losses. Americans took pictures of this big kitty after the war.
