Afetr all, what was it that killed the german tank ace Michael Wittman, a superlative killer of Allied tanks ?...........yeah, youv'e got it.......a Hawker Typhoon.
In "Panzers in Normandy then and now" and in a lengthy "After the Battle" article it was stated pretty categorically that Wittmann was popped by some Sherman Fireflies (Shermans regunned with the 17pdr. anti-tank gun).
