One the better books for pictures available on Panzer Lehr is Kurowski's "Die Panzer-Lehr-Division 1944-1945", it can usually be found on the used market in nice condition for about $25. This is one of the so-called "Bildband" from German publishers that focus on captioned pictures of the troops, equipment, battle locations etc., and you would be hard pressed to find a single book with more pictures of a particular unit in action than one of these "Bildband's", and most of these have dual German/English captions. If you don't want to buy the book it might be possible to find this title in PDF format for download at one of the file sharing sites, but be prepared to spend some time searching for it. I'm not aware of any website that is devoted exclusively to Panzer Lehr, but the usual Google image search should turn up hundreds of photos of the divison.

Sure, no problem. While I don't personally have the Panzer Lehr Bildband, I have one on the 6th Panzer Div. and it is excellent, so I'm fairly confident you'll be happy with your Panzer Lehr Bildband. Let us know how you like it once you've had a chance to look it over. 8)
