VILLERS-BOCAGE
BATTLEFIELD MYSTERY:
June 12, 1944 Wittmann arrived in the area of Villers-Bocage, Normandy with(12)Tiger tanks about half strength. The British arrived and surprised the Germans, Wittmann engaged the British destroying thin-skinned vehicles light and medium tanks. During the Normandy invasion, the Germans lost 135 Tiger tanks.
Above file photo of knocked out Tiger, has been disputed as Wittmann's tank. Without a turret number showing it remains a mystery if this isn't Wittmann's tank, who's is it?
However, a painting by artist David Pentland shows Wittmann advancing into Villers-Bocage with Tiger 222, a painting isn't historical fact...but than again Wittmann could have changed vehicles due to a mechanical problem. The debate continues
Wittmann was later killed along with his crew on August 8,1944 fighting allied forces between the town of Cintheaux and St. Aignan de Cramesnil Wittmanns Tiger #007 was destroyed by either anti-tank fire by British or Canadian tanks, or from air attack by RAF Hawker Typhoo fighter-bomber

It`s a 1 Coy tank; Wittman was 2 Coy.
His tank IS in the main street but it`s not this one - his is the only tank pointing North and it`s position was the most Southerl of the three tigers knocked out in the centre of Villers Bocage
