The alert was given and SS-Panzer-Abteilung 101 marched towards the front in Normandy. This photo was taken on the morning of 7.6.1944 on the N316 highway between Bézu-la-Forêt and Morgny. Here we can see SS-Oberscharführer Jürgen Brandt at the turret of Tiger ‘223.’ Though no planes are visible in the sky, the hull machine-gun have been placed on the anti-aircraft ring on the commanders cupola and the muzzle breaks have been covered to prevent dust from getting in.
