With note from Bill Miller to say:
The PA number listed for the photo you posted is the old original negative number . It has a new PA number and description:
REFERENCE NUMBERS:
_ ACCESSION:_ _ 1967-052
_ REPRODUCTION:_ _ PA-159252 (copy negative number);
Sherman tanks lined up along the route await the order to proceed with the infantry - 4th Canadian Armed Division chasing German paratroopers out of town
1945 / Wertle, Germany — 1 item — 2 1/4 sq. in.
Then with further comment from Mark Tonner to say...
Some more details regarding this photo. If indeed it was taken at Wertle, the Kangaroos would be those of "B" Sqn, 1 CACR and the tanks would be those of the 21 Cdn Armd Regt (GGFG).
....
As my Sherman is ex-21st Cdn Armd Regt, it would be interesting to know when the ARV Cupolas were fitted.
