penetrating and up-to-date account of one of the most dramatic

the end of the Cold War, and the opening of the Soviet archives

MICHAEL WITTMANN
AND THE WAFFEN SS TIGER COMMANDERS
OF THE LEIBSTANDARTE IN WWII, VOLUME
II
by Patrick Agte
Michael Wittmann was by far the most famous WWII tank ace,
destroying 138 enemy tanks and 132 anti-tank guns. 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 armoured unit,
single-handedly destroying more than a dozen tanks and preventing an
enemy breakthrough. He was killed two months later while attempting
to repulse an Allied assault.
