This Kingtiger (i.d. No.204) had apparently been abandoned (undamaged?) in La Gleize in the Ardennes and was in running order.
After the battle it was being driven away by US troops up this hill when it stalled and the engine caught fire.
The Americans later towed it off for scrapping.

Snowfall on 204..
The spot today..
Defensive deployment of the Kingtigers (with i.d. numbers) around La Gleize, showing fields of fire.
Note tank 204 is in the village.
