Description
Michael Wittmann - became Germany's and perhaps the world's most famous Panzer (tank) ace amassed 138 enemy tanks destroyed and 132 anit-tank guns blown up. On 13 June 1944, Wittmann commandeered this Tiger Tank (Red 222) on his second defense of Villers-Bocage after his original mount (Red 205) was low on fuel and ammunition. Following fierce fighting, Red 222 was disabled later that day following a hit in the track from a British anti-tank gun. The tank crew survived and Red 222 was later recovered to fight another day.
