Max and Moritz, Retreat from the Donets, Russia, July to September 1943 by David Pentland. (P) After the battle of Kursk, Heavy Tank Battalion 503 Tiger Is were divided into small groups to protect and support infantry units as they retreated from the Donets river line. A typical example was the team of Rubbel (Max) and Rippl (Moritz) who for several weeks acting independently fended off pursuing Soviet armoured units. Their success was in no small part due to the skill of Rippls gunner, Kurt Knispel. |

Char B at Stonne by David Pentland. (P) France, 15th-17th May 1940. The French offensive at Stonne was of vital importance following the German capture of Sedan. The French could use it as a base from which to launch long-term attacks on the enemy bridgeheads. In this innocuous town, a vicious two-day battle took place in which the Germans came face to face with the premier French tank, the Char B-Bis for the only time. One of these tanks, commanded by Pierre Billotte, proved invulnerable to German anti-tank fire and took 140 hits, and knocked out 13 German tanks. The town changed hands 17 times but ultimately the French failed to hold it. |
