Great history lesson men, keep up the wonderful sharing of facts for those of us who haven’t a clue concerning these battles! Thanks!
Ausf & Moonrad,
I’m not a military expert but I believe Wittman’s tank is hit and disabled but he is not killed.
It’s in Osprey’s D-Day #4 Gold and Juno Beaches it has an awesome account of what you are talking about with great graphics !
The scans are too big to blow-up - it is in Ron’s gallery where you will get it to display bigger http://rongeorge.com/modules/Gallery/upload?page=4
See, was that cool or what ! They creamed "em !
Thanks edog, I got the date wrong. Its 13th of june NOT august.
He is not killed in Villers Bocage, but he is killed on August 8th in Tiger 007.
I have that book and I posted a rewiew here some time ago. Its a great book here is a link to my rewiew http://www.finescale.com/fsm/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18756
I posted a review a couple of months ago on it too. It was an early review. I’d only had it for a day or two. Having read through it much more now, all I can say is that it’s a fantastic book! I can’t wait for the new Sherman version to come out. Maybe I’ll be able to figure out how to do an Allied tank properly!!
