Meant to post this before but been too busy for months !
Anyway, as far as I know, there are only 3 photos of this Tiger... :
...and only one shows part of its callsign : '10?'
I thus wonder why it has always been maintained that this Tiger was '100' since the photo only shows the first two digits and again, I'm not aware of any account describing this tank as '100' or any official CO's/callsigns tables for SS503.
Now the last photo showing the RHS is quite poor but after further study, I think there may be a trace of a '1' as the last digit :
If correct, this would then make this Tiger '101', not '100'.
Additionally, since there was a close connection between SS502 and SS503, and in the light of the latest findings re SS502 numbering sytem as described in Heimdal's recent album 'Tiger!', I can't help thinking that '101' would be a more likely number anyway since SS502 / 1.Kp Kompaniechef's Panzer is said to have had callsign '101' and Kompanietruppführer's Panzer callsign '102'.
Guys, any thoughts ?

These pictures have a quite poor quality but on a bit better one there there is really no doubt about it that the last digit is a "1". Hopefully when i get this russian neewsreel in the next time, from where this screenshot was taken, we do see more from this Tiger. By the way his name was Turk.
Tschüss
