Osaako kukaan kertoa enempää tämän panssarikapteenin urotöistä kuin ne kymmenet tuhotut tankit jotka mainitaan aina sivulauseena erillaisissa toisen maailmansodan dokumenteissä?

By August 8th, the situation in France had turned desperate. His tank unit, now regrouped with the impressive 12th SS Division, met up with Canadian armor at Cintheaux. Though the town itself was recaptured and the Canadians, (unsurprisingly) sustained heavy casualties, the German high command considered the battle a tremendous blow, for Wittman was lost. Like a knight making his last stand, Wittman perished in a combat engagement with a detachment of the 4th Canadian Armored Division against overwhelming odds. Five tanks caught the ace’s Panzer in the open on August 8th, 1944 in the French countryside. and in the ensuing match that followed, Wittman and his entire crew were killed. Wittman was reported missing the following day, a demoralizing defeat for his division and the entire German army. The whereabouts of his body would remain a mystery for over 40 years, until an accidental discovery by a French road crew led to the exhumation and identification of Wittman’s corpse.
