Summary[edit]

Description

Tanks, perhaps wrecks, at Porto Farina, Tunisia, in May 1943. The identity of the tanks is unclear. Nearest to the camera is an dismantled SOMUA S35, with its hull armour and suspension armour removed, behind it a British Valentine Mk III tank. In the background are two French-made SOMUA S35s. SOMUA S35s were at the time used by the 19e Groupement Blindé Français, an allied unit, which contradicts the original caption. However, as every usable vehicle was commandeered by the (at that moment) victorious troops, it is unknown who operated these tanks.

Original caption: "Allied soldiers inspect the wreckage of one of the tanks of the German Tenth and Fifteenth Panzer Divisions. Photo made at Porto Farina where the Nazis were trapped."
