Wig Graves and Jim Dunnan
Villers Bocage, west of Caen: The 13th of June will forever be
remembered in the annals of armored warfare as the day when so
few defeated so many near the little Norman town of Viller-Bocage.
Elements of the 4th City of London Yeomanry, of the 7th British
Armoured Division, the famed "Desert Rats", had halted for mid-morning
tea after executing a left hook in the drive for Caen. Unfortunately
for them they were about to face a small battle group of the
101st SS Heavy Panzer Battalion. But this was no ordinary battlegroup!
This was the famous German Tiger Ace, Michael Wittman. A Veteran
panzer commander with 117 tank kills on the Russian Front. Wittman
was not a man to worry about odds in an attack and as he siezed
the opportunity is said to have stated "They're acting as if
they'd won the war already. We're going to prove them wrong".
