The two photos of Panzergrenadiere and Panther "321" of Pz.Brig.111 are among the earliest verified photos showing the Panzerfaust 60M in service on the western front. They were taken in Bures in the Lorraine, France, between 18 and

27 September 1944. The Panzerfaust 60M entered service that same month in limited numbers. No verified photos have surfaced showing it used in Normandy, despite claims in various product marketing, eg Jeff Shiu’s Miniatures & DML.
