    On June 13th, 1944, in the French town of Villers-Bocage, south of Normandy hidden in the bushes a beast stalks its prey. A Tiger tank of the 2nd Company of the 101st SS Heavy Panzer Battalion. Standing atop its cupola is the most decorated German Panzer ace in history; Lieutenant Michael Wittmann aka The Black Baron. A reckless attack or a daring tank battle. Wittman's actions at Villers Bocage became disputed and legendary. There are many sources that conflict for this story but we tried to pull together a narrative from the many sources that are out there. Any errors are our own.

    A video about Otto Carius and the first documented shooting down of a plane with a tank would be good to see. Carius leveled the tank and his gunner shot down the plane with the main gun. That was in Russia in 1943 I think. Carius died in 2014 at the age of over ninety. He had a pharmacy called Tiger pharmacy and in it he had a lot of models of Tigers, Panthers and Tank Destroyers. He started out as a loader in a Panzer 38 and worked his way up to commander. He was one of the first to be fitted with the Tiger. At the end of the war he commanded a Jagdtiger.Carius had notable success as a Tiger tank commander

      No he was not!!! He was a maverick who didn’t sugar coat his beliefs & it was PURELY HIS SKILLSET & accomplishments that kept him with a heartbeat!!! To say something that completely conflicts with the Nazi doctrine out loud no doubt, you found a stool & a piano wire noose or a firing squad kit soon after said comment!!! Wittman was an animal but Kurt I believe was on a level no other tanker in nazi ranks possessed & they had a lot of good ones!!!! But the Firefly was the tank that Expelled Wittman & his crew!!! All these comment Colonels act like they had no shot, that 17 pounder was nasty!!! Tiger still had advantage but it was very small very small, The firefly could engage a lot farther off & actually produce desired results, still when USA & Allies first got into the European theathre they found out that their soldiers , command structure were battle tested from Eastern Front & they were truly formidable opponent!!! Their tanks were LIGHT YEARS BETTER THAN OURS WHEN WE landed on June 6th!!!the MG 42 US soldiers said just 2-3 of those nests would terrify the rank & file troops approaching as much as the Tigers & panther tanks, it’s still considered the best light machine gun & multiple countries still have in service & their current machine gun is some kind of variant/copy , it spit out twice as fast as the US machine guns!!! I’m a SIE HARD AMERICAN PATRIOT, we took our lumps, losses, wore initial shock off, organized & pushed foreword with the famous American doctrine producing everything on a level & scale that no other country could dream of producing, we done that & leans lease thousands of trucks planes, food, ammunition to The soviets, but IMO the true unsung hero is our RESILLIANT-TOUGH MINDED WOMEN, it was well over 60% of women from age 18-50 that worked our factories producing our ammunition building our aircraft, our battleships etc & they fucking done it well!!!

    @FLJBeliever1776 2 роки тому +5

    I've heard that Wittmann barely avoided a Court Martial over that action. While, yes, he was successful, he apparently ignored another German unit in distress.
    Though, like you said, it there are simply too many conflicting accounts. Plus, when the Germans surrendered, they destroyed considerable documents or stashed them away. Others DO exist, but are unfortunately, buried in Archives from DC to Moskva (good luck at getting any records from Moskva now). And that's not including the records from Norway and Finland North Africa that are likely forgotten about.
    Although, recently, it has been found that a 6-pdr has enough power to actually pierce the side of a Tiger. The problem with the 6-pdr, and its American version (the 57mm M1 ATG), appears to be that the gun is finicky at short ranges and its best capabilities are at a thousand yards, which just so happens to be its maximum accurate range. After 1,000 yards, it yaws a bit too much and then goes off somewhere else.
    One of the reasons the US Army didn't try to upgun their Light Tanks with 57mm Guns was how finicky the dang thing was, and this was in spite of the fact that RnD and Armor Branch managed to stick a 75mm into a M5 Turret!
    Still, I have to admit, this is one of the better accounts I've heard about the rampage, and it is definitely at the correct time of day. In CoD, it was both wet and at night and kept running amok in the town itself doing most of the damage.

  • @bjboss1119

Heck, no calm and professional Tiger crew would get out and drive their tank into the town without infantry support.
      It doesn't help that he is egotistical because gets to belong to an SS Panzer unit, 101-SS Heavy Tank Battalion to be exact, where the supposed "elite" tank crew belongs.

    Not to be going off at ya but i do want to point out the mistakes on the tiger, could always improve so. There is no indent on the left and right of the tiger’s turret, the gun is too thin, and on the gun mantlet on the left of the gun there is no line on it, just smooth, that’s the machine gun port. Also the side skirts angle downward a little that are not straight. Other than that you did well.
