Hey Guys !

Again ... Much appreciated with th kind words !! I'm glad every one's Diggin' it !!

@FUMBLE - Thanx Bro ! Actually this radio set is all Resin. No P.E. here & I'm almost glad & all hand painted ! Although th Head-phones are P.E. & Resin & th Throat Mics are all P.E. ( Verlinden's Tiger Detail set #1177) ....

@ E - Shooo ..... Thanx Dogg !! Oh , The AMPSCV meeting is tonight :eek: .... I hope you went. I have an Auto CAD class every Thurs. Night, so I can't make it unless I can skate outta class early ... Not tonight. ... Hopefully next Month, My luck, Mid-Term's will be that night ! .... But We might get out early for that one ... Finger's Crossed !!

@LONGLANCE - Welcome to th HERD ! Thanx for th kind words. .... speaking of Wittmann ... this particular part of His story I find really interesting . I've recently brushed up on it ... & what a shame. Here He is going out to Help a Green Horn ( New Commander, that had never seen Combat, let along Commanded a Tiger Kompanie :eek: ) & gets caught in an Ambush. There ya' go .. That's what you get when you try to help people ! There were so many times He could've avoided it. Hind sight is 20/20 I guess !! From what I've read it seems like Wittmann was a Great Commander to serve under. He wasn't harsh .. but fair ! Gave Credit where credit was due . He was well liked by th whole of the 101st. Liebstandarte !

@ BIG-JOHN - Thanx for th kind words .... I think if I wanna get any Good Head Bangin music, I'll need to extend th Stabs Antenna !! ;D - Great Tune BTW !!

I never knew that part of the ambush, thats very sticking in one sense, to get killed trying to help new officers, from i read about that final ambush. It was also due to his tactic of the "the tiger charge" that also got him killed. On the eastren front Wittmann found it more effective to take on the enemy head on uisng the tiger's frontal armor to absorb hits, this worked well in head to head actions. But in another way it made the tank vunerable to ambush as the nature of the charge would limit his situational awareness........wow i kinda droned there sorry lol ;)

@SHANE ,

It's cool .... Drone on !! I Dig th History of it all !! Th Day Wittmann got killed was the start of the Allied break out - Operation Totalize . Also a sad note - Kurt "Panzer" Meyer had recon'd the area & knew th Ambush was set up , but could not get into contact with Wittmann . Wittmann had told everyone in a conference that evening before, not to go out. Green Horn disobeyed & went out any way th next morning. Wittmann & a few other Guys - 008 , 009 went out to get him & reign him in ... Then All Hell broke loose !

@NONAME - Thanx for th kind words !!
