When I was stationed in Germany, I took a trip to the Bulge battlefields. In La Gleize, Belguim there's a King Tiger that was left behind when Peiper's Kampgruppe withdrew, they destroyed it because it was out of gas. The front glacis plate if full of dents and there where at least two shells imbedded in it that failed to penetrate.
One shell is under the MG and one is right in the center where the two front plates come together.

Wicked! We were stationed at Ramstein AFB from '74 - '79 (my college years). I did get to visit Patton's grave in Luxenburg and the "Nuts to you!" battlefield in Baston, FR. I wish I had been more mature back then to appreciate what these great Americans did. I sure do now.
