	Michael Wittmann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michael Wittmann (April 22, 1914 - August 8, 1944) was a SS-Hauptsturmführer (SS-Captain) in Schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 101 during World War II, and one of the most successful tank commanders in history.

		Wittmann's unit, the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler (LSSAH), distinguished itself for the first time in the capture of the Greek capital, and formed the spearhead alongside the 9th Panzer division which punched though the Greek countryside.

		Although subsequently immobilized in the village center, the battle between the British 7th Armoured Division "Desert Rats" and Wittmann's 101st Heavy Tank Battalion continued for a full day, and blunted the British threat to the German line.

	AFV Club Tiger I Late Version Michael Wittmann Special
		AFV Club have followed their first Tiger I Late (Kit AF35079) with this Michael Wittmann Special which is basically the same as the first kit but with some new and updated parts plus additional resin parts including a Wittmann figure and gives the option of building a Command tank with additional antenna fitted.
		This resin figure represents Michael Wittmann wearing the leather tankers jacket and field cap with a wide grin as he was photographed just after the Villers-Bocage action in July 1944 with the figure capturing this photo well.
		The full body is in one piece with separate arms and head but while the arms have locating pins included I found these more a hindrance and after cutting them off the arms fitted much better but there was some minor trimming of the arm/shoulder join required for a good fit.

	Axis History Forum :: View topic - Michael Wittmann membership to SS and atrocities
		Maybe I'm out of line here, but I think it bears mentioning that Wittmann was not regular army; he was SS.
		My point is, wanting to accurately depict Wittmann's Tiger is perfectly fine; referring to a Nazi butcher as "a real hero" is not.
		Intelligent and responsible people don't accuse individuals of having "committed God knows how many atrocities while engaged in counter partisan operations in the Balkans and on the Eastern Front," and of being a "Nazi butcher" without providing some proof to support their claim.
