Villiers bocage Cromwell tank battle mug

11 oz dishwasher safe mug

British tanks were parked as Wittmann's attack started, how, with a lot of the crews outside the tanks, there was a scramble to re-man their vehicles. About one tank that managed to reverse into a side-street unseen and was in a perfect position to end Wittmann's rampage as he drove past- except for the gunner who was spending the most expensive penny of his life and was not in the tank to shoot. Stories of other tanks that tried and failed to get away until finally, having destroyed everthing in his path so far, Wittmann decided to halt his rampage when faced by more British tanks coming into the town from the west. After deciding that he had caused enough mayhem and it was time to pull out, Wittmann turned around and drove out along the road he had come in on. You will be shown where, as he was exiting the town, one lone anti-tank gun that he had missed on his way in was moved into position to fire.
