Conflict surrounds the credit for the destruction of this massive King Tiger or Jadgtiger.   Two sources are credited with the 'kill': 1- A well placed bazooka shot;  2- A long-range precision round from a 90mm gun on a 776th 'Slugger' tank destroyer. A U.S. Army M4 Sherman tank passes a captured PZKW V Panther Mark V Panzer during the Ardennes Offensive or more commonly known as the Battle of the Bulge.
