Villers-Bocage has, for years, been the battle that confirmed the
reputation of Germany's greatest tank ace, Michael Wittmann. In
this book the battle is analysed in depth for the first time
through detailed examination of the images taken by war
photographers after the town was captured by German forces. The
claims made of the battle are re-appraised, and the arguments set
out in dozens of published accounts have been compared with primary
evidence never utilised before, and evaluated anew. Perhaps the two
most striking revelations come from German sources. First,
graphically, by the study of the 100 photographs taken by the
Germans the day after the battle. Secondly, from Wittmann's own
account which refutes many of the claims of historians attempting
to glamorise the action.
