Hey, she'll have to learn to deal with Les sooner or later anyways, so why not start now ?

No disrespect Les, its just I know it takes some getting used to your tone for the 'newbies', but then you're also a splendid character, would certainly miss you if you werent here anymore

Welcome, Heather, to this board.
Why do You need to do research on this topic? Wittmann is covered well since years.
Even in case I receive a lot of critzism for it:
You may cut Wittmanns kill claims down by one third at least.
Happens to everyone. Be careful if You engage claims without sources. Best is to doublecheck it with the loss lists, if avaiable.
However, Wittmanns record still is outstanding.

cheers,

If she does what shes supposed to do, she'll look around and get an idea of what she's in for.... 90% of everything I say is BS anyways..

Is that what your fiery redhead (if I recall she is redhead I could be wrong) wife tells you? No one helps to keep us grounded like wifes can.

From this site:

"This file contains SS-Hauptsturmführer Michael Wittmann's personnel documents. While it is certainly not a complete record of his military service, it has a variety of interesting documents, including a set of maps detailing the battle at Villers-Bocage."

I just put the images into a PDF, he has several useful documents on his site.

cheers,

in the leaving cert here we have to choose a topic that we have some
interest in and do a research essay on it...ive always been mad into
ww2. but i decided that id research something that i havnt really looked
into before...so tanks seemed like the obvious one to go for since i never
really had any interest in it before and my dad suggested wittmann and i figured when i came accross this site that it might help me!! which it has!(thanks hunter368 and rugger)
oh and thanks everyone for the welcomes!!
and dont worry lesofprimus ive looked around already and realised
what im in for!lol
thanks again!! youve all been a great help!!
xxxxxxxx
