File:Wittmann Tiger 007.jpg

Summary[edit]

The only photograph taken of Michael Wittmann’s destroyed late production model Tiger I no. 007 still in the fields near Gaumesnil, taken by the French civilian Mr Serge Varin in 1945 when he was cycling down the Caen-Falaise road (route nationale 158). This is the only photo which he took that has survived. After inspecting the tank, Varin concluded that an RAF Typhoon rocket must have destroyed it, based on his discovery of unexploded rocket near the tank. There is however considerable conflict surrounding the exact details of Wittman's death, with no fully accepted account existing.

The turret has landed upside down.
