Curious Allied soldiers examine the wrecked chassis of a German self propelled gun, probably a Sturmpanzer (known as a Brumbaar) during Operation Charnwood - July 1944

The Brumbaar was a variant of the Panzer IV which was originally designed for use in the street fighting of Stalingrad.

Operation Charnwood was a fairly straightforward frontal attack designed to capture the northern part of the city of Caen, France
