My apologies if this is in the wrong place. Someone was asking about this engagement - but I cannot locate the post/postee.

He said that this took place on 18th December near St. Vith.

I have the After Action Report for the 87th Cavalry Recon Sq for December 1944 and although the narrative includes the battle for St. Vith and Viesalm there is no mention of a Tiger being dispatched by an M8. It may be that this information did not reach Major Kaiser the Co of the unit - but if it did happen then I find it odd that he failed to mention it?
