Historical Background:

Michael Wittmann (April 22, 1914 - August 8, 1944) was a SS-Hauptsturmf¨¹hrer (SS-Captain) in Schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 101 during World War II, and one of the most successful tank commanders in history. He is famous for his June 13, 1944, ambush of elements of the British 7th Armoured Division at the Battle of Villers-Bocage in a Tiger tank, where Wittmann's tank fought almost single-handedly against a much larger enemy force, inflicting heavy losses on the British and bringing the entire Division to a standstill. For this famous action, Wittmann was awarded the swords to the Knight's Cross, and was promoted to SS-Hauptsturmf¨¹hrer. His death has also presented a mystery to historians on which no clear consensus has been reached.
