Not sure where to post this. I was looking at the family archive and I found this photo. Its of me and my sister somewhere in Normandy, 1986. Anyone know what Tank it is and where it would be?

It's a Tiger. Looks like this one here
Quote> This Tiger tank monument facing west is on the eastern exit road at Vimoutier. Panzers were used to keep open the German escape corridor from the Falaise Pocket (the "cauldron") in late August. The tank facing west is symbolic of its action. There are many Tigers in museums but only one or two are outdoor monuments in France.

Yeah as said it's defintely a Tiger although becuase it's missing all of it's mud gaurds, flaps and detailing it looks abit like a playmobile model.
