Villers Bocage, west of Caen: The 13th of June will forever be remembered in the annals of armored warfare as the day when so few defeated so many near the little Norman town of Viller-Bocage. Elements of the 4th City of London Yeomanry, of the 7th British Armoured Division, the famed "Desert Rats", had halted for mid-morning tea after executing a left hook in the drive for Caen. Unfortunately for them they were about to face a small battle group of the 101st SS Heavy Panzer Battalion. But this was no ordinary battlegroup! This was the famous German Tiger Ace, Michael Wittman. A Veteran panzer commander with 117 tank kills on the Russian Front. Wittman was not a man to worry about odds in an attack and as he siezed the opportunity is said to have stated "They're acting as if they'd won the war already. We're going to prove them wrong".
