Black 301of the 2nd Panzer Division, Marnarch, Ardennes/Belgium, January of 1945
After the Luftwaffe's "Bodenplatte" attack on January 1st, the Allied tactical air force disappeared over the Ardennes front and the German units managed to receive some reinforcements. This enabled them to resume their offensive and inflicted heavy US losses, forcing Patton's 3rd Army to retreat. On January 4th, Patton wrote in his diary: "We can still lose this war". This Panther was abandoned by its crew in Marnarch in January 1945, probably due to lack of fuel.
