Who really got Michel Wittman?

[Wolfkin]

Hello!

Thanks for the kind comments Sapper740! As John said it would be a good idea to get Reid's book if you can. Reid has done what no author has done yet. He looks at the battle itself, the terrain, the positions of all the forces, after-action reports and then paints a pretty accurate picture of what happened.

The British armour of the Northamptonshires could not have fired the shot that got Wittmann's Tiger because they were NE of him. The Canadian armour of the Sherbrookes however, were SW of Wittmann's Tiger. The shot that got his Tiger was fired from the Left Rear, that is from the SW.

It is a lot easier to read about it in the book and see everything that the author presents. I am sure you would not be disappointed in the book, it is a real great book!

Was it a normal Sherman and not a Sherman Firefly, John? I always thought that it was a Firefly version. Well now, it is even more impressive of an action now!
