In Rad’s Biography, by Lawrence Zaporzan, it states that Rad only realized in the mid 1980s that his squadron had killed Michael Wittmann, while he was on a Canadian Land Forces Command and Staff College battlefield tour. Before that the names Meyer, Waldmuller and Wittmann meant little to him.
I want to ask a favour. Can you ask Chris Radley-Walkers if his family has any photos of Rad’s tank Caribou? If so can someone scan them and post them here? There is one photo of the tank in Rad’s biography but the copy I have is very poor quality and one can not see any details.
Thanks.
