spotted advancing north by 3 Troop, A Squadron. Some minutes later
Captain Boardman arrived in his Sherman I and when the enemy were within
800 yards he gave the order to open fire. The first two shots by
the troops Firefly brewed up the rearmost target. After moving to
a new position Trooper Joe Ekins fired again, knocking out a second
Tiger. Finally he turned his attention to the remaining tank,
destroying it with two more rounds. Unknown to the British tankmen
at the time it is now believed that the last Tiger was that of the top
German tank ace Hauptsturmfurher Michael Wittmann.
