Hello guys!
I have just read the part in the book "No Holding Back" about Wittmann. I have been researching WWII Panzer battles for many years now and most sources always stated that the Canadian tanks in the area were not in a position to engage Wittmann's Tigers on that day.
This part of the book is very interesting to me, because the author proves with a pretty reasonable argument that the Canadians were in fact in the area and were in fact able to engage the Tigers! I think this is very groundbreaking information and very well-done research on the part of Brian Reid!
This is excellent for Canadians too, being a Canadian I always kind of wanted the Canadian version to be true but it always looked like the evidence was against it. For Major Sidney Valpy Radley-Walters this is such an achievement, especially considering the fact that for us Canadians he is the closest thing we have to a Tank Ace!
Cheers,
