These photos are excellent reference material. Thanks for posting them. If you ever take more photos please take some with a measuring tape like the one showing the bolt size. Cheers |

It was left behind by the Kampfgruppe Peiper in La Gleize. The Germans blew the canon to take it out, that's all. It stood there during the war. the Pastor of La Gleize bought the tank from the Amiricans for a bottle of Cognac. In the 50"s it was moved to its current position. They found a 75 mm barrel at a farmer. He used it as a drainage pipe!!! So the welded the 75 mm on the King Tiger. Only the last 10 years the restauration took a professional level. It stands now proudly in front of the museum. Before you ask it's not in running conditions anymore.
