I'm looking for A figure set of late war german tankers abandoning their tank. Specifically a set that the crew is not wounded. Thanks.

Perhaps this set from Miniart could be useful to you?

Dragon make such a kit, but I think one of the crew is wounded. Unless the tank is being abandoned because it has run out of fuel, you have to admit that the likelihood of at least one of the crew being wounded is pretty high.

The Dragon figure set is nice. As mentioned, one of them is wounded or at least shaken up a bit. A second figure is aiding this wounded man so you have to lump them in as a pair. The other downside for you may be that the set is only four figures. So one did not make it or will have to be drawn from another set. I used my set for a bailing Stug III crew.

The Miniart set looks nice. The hull gunner has a very nice pose. I've almost ordered it twice just for that one figure. I'm holding off buying new panzer crews until I use up what I have.
