Michael Wittman - Vol II
Accounts of what it was like to command a tank in combat. Contains maps, official documents, newspaper clippings, and orders of
battle. Volume Two follows Michael Wittmann and his unit into Normandy to defend against the Allied invasion.
A week after D-Day, Wittmann achieved his greatest success.
On June 13, 1944, near Villers Bocage, the panzer ace and his crew attacked a British armored unit, single-handedly destroying more than a dozen tanks and preventing an enemy breakthrough.
The exploit made Wittmann a national hero in Germany and a legend in the annals of war. He was killed two
months later while attempting to repulse an Allied assault, but the book continues beyond his death until the Leibstandarte's surrender.
