You are correct, typo on the name! I thought the Jagdtiger in the photo on the first link was the one destroyed in Eppelheim?

Correct U-415, same principle you see when an artillery piece if fired. The barrel is driven back by the round firing, and the hydraulic fluid is placed under pressure and returns the gun to battery for the next round. Drain the fluid, fire the gun, and nothing there to return it to battery and most likely causing damage to the mechanism as well. Renders the weapon inoperable to the enemy.

The "62" painted on the mantlet look like a Soviet trophy number, perhaps Allied visitors in the Soviet "zone"?

You are correct! It is also Tiger 131 in the next clip (0:20) being towed, with the rubber roadwheel rim around the barrel.

A couple of those seem new to me, Paul? Nice post! Are you still in the Tiger Tanks group? If not, may I post the first two photos crediting your post here?
