While on holiday recently I noticed a WW2 tank close to the main road and stopped to take a few photographs. One of the signs said that the ashes of an elderly M10 crewman had been interred in the vehicle.
This M10 was knocked out at Illhaeusern, a village between Colmar and Selestat. It is sited to the North of a minor road junction and is surrounded by a few trees. We were travelling East to West between Marckolsheim and Riquewihr, so I guess the road it is beside is the D3 or the D10 / D106 - see Michelin tourist & motoring atlas 1:200,000, page 121, grid square F2. With regard to whether this one is open topped, I cannot say, the signs make it clear that it is essentially a grave and for that reason I did not climb on it.
