Michael Wittmann - Battle of Kursk by Jason Askew. (P) Michael Wittman at the battle of Kursk. On the first day of the attack, X-Day, 5th July 1943, eleven Tigers under SS-Hauptsturmfuhrer Kling move northwards to the town of Bykovka, under instructions to break through the Soviet defences located to the south and south-east of the town. The enemy forces, which included T34s, were well placed in ambush positions to thwart the German move. Wittmann's Tiger quickly took out two of the T34s and the remaining enemy vehicles quickly retreated. It was to be a dramatic day for Wittmann and his crew - during the many sorties that were undertaken, loader Walter Koch was hit in the head with splinters and the Tiger drove over a mine, damaging one of the tracks. The injured Koch was replaced by SS-Panzerschutze Max Gaube, and the Tiger was quickly towed to safety. In spite of the small misfortunes that came its way, Wittmann's Tiger had destroyed large amounts of soviet vehicles and armour, including 8 Russian tanks. |
