Thank you for the amazing piece of footage. In all my years of researching my father's military history, I have never come across any video or photographic evidence of the day he and his M10 crew were attacked. I am blown away.

The added bonus was the short piece of footage that comes after the burning M10's. The solider you see facing the camera and then turning away is my father, Sgt. Slusar. I showed my family and sisters and they are all very appreciative of this community of WWII enthusiasts.

Please, if anyone has any more information to add, continue this post.

I am also available to answer any questions anyone might have.

Hi Mike,

I have posted a thank you to Michael Kenny over on the Missing Lynx Allied WWII forum for re-posting the image and adding the film clips.
It makes all those hours of searching through hundreds and hundreds of images and watching hour upon hour of newsreels all worth while when you find something like this. it doesn't happen often but it is nice when it does.
Glad our paths crossed and pleased to have helped in a way.

cheers

Kevin
