German tank assault on the Danube, 1945

Image text:

A German Jagdpanzer IV (hunting tank), together with infantrymen, advances on the snowy fields of the Hungarian Puszta. One of the men on the left is carrying a Panzerfaust.The cut off vehicle is an armored personnel carrier Sd. Kfz.251. Conspicuously, the muzzle brake of the Jagdpanzer is missing. These were often dismantled, as they stirred up too much dust, and in this way they revealed their own position.
