Michael Wittmann and his Crew in Normandy

“Behind the scenes” footage with SS-Hauptsturmführer Michael Wittmann and his crew in Normandy taken after he was awarded Swords to his Knight’s Cross for his action on 13 June 1944, near Villers-Bocage, where the panzer ace led the most lethal tank attack against the British 7th Armoured Division. In under 15 minutes of battle, Wittmann and his crew devastated 12 tanks, 10 half-tracks, 4 carriers and 2 anti-tank guns! The exploit made Wittmann a national hero in Germany and a legend in the annals of war.
