Error, this Tiger has been blown up by its crew after having fallen in a bomb hole.
Other error, rather a fantasy: this tank to be killed by a Belgian Typhoon pilot in a sort of cat & mouse game

What was the size of the charge used to blow the turret clean off? and that crater looks deep

Citação Famosa da 2ª GM
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

My guess is this Tiger was knocked out by artillery.
After WWII damaged and abandonded vehicles
were salvaged or scrapped. Some of the tanks
and other vehicles were repaired and used in
post-war armies.
The French used the Panther tank and other German vehicles into the 1950s even a King Tiger was put back into operation.
Many Countries used salvaged German tanks and other equipment. East Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia used German equipment until replaced by Russian equipment.
Countries in Western Europe used German equipment until replaced with US equipment.
Most of the equipment was scrapped that was
beyond salvage what spare parts found, were used to keep equipment running. Sweden even
used Panther tanks for testing until 1961!
Some tank hulls ended their lives as targets
on the firing range.
WORLD WAR II SALVAGE:
Tanks and other fighting vehicles were not the only salvaged military equipment. Tons of
uniforms, boots, web equpment, helmets, food
supplies and other support equipment were used by post-war armies.
Small arms were used for years afterwards, some are still in production. The rest have been declared surplus and sold decades later on the civilian market.
