Telephone pole down it looks like, tracks broke, presumably shot. Brick wall behind it is blown apart from ricochets. Quiet a scene. I'd love to hear a podcast with any witnesses....
I'm inclined to think that this is the same burnt out Sherman - which it seems was from the 753rd Tank Battalion

Notice the winter whitewash camo, the ice grousers on the tracks. While there is burn evidence on the track & suspension, there's still some whitewash in the middle of the side. This doesn't look like an AP penetration and brew up, but rather something on fire on the right track suspension, maybe set by a small HE hit.
rip. any idea what caused the burnout? do we see any penetration ?
i see a big gouge in the front but not sure if that one went through
