Michael Wittmann — The SS Tank Legend Who Destroyed a British Division Alone and Died Forgotten

He destroyed 138 tanks. He stopped a British division with a single Tiger. Hitler personally decorated him. Goebbels made him a legend. And on August 8, 1944, a single shot ended everything. Michael Wittmann was the most feared tank commander of the entire Second World War. He fought from Poland to France, from the Eastern Front to Normandy. He was thirty years old when he died in a burning Tiger on a Norman road. And the full story of who he really was has almost never been told completely.
This is the complete story of Michael Wittmann — the SS tank ace who became a legend, what he really did at Villers-Bocage, and the truth behind the myth.
