Tamiya's prototype for their 1/48th Firefly is marked for 1 Northamptonshire Yeomanry, so I was having a look to see what Fireflies were used by 1NY and found it hard to tell if they had any (non-hybrid) 1Cs. While I was doing that I found another summary of the events around Wittmann's last action which nicely rounds up the evidence from both sides. Background is pretty too.....

That seems to clear up completely what happened to Wittman. Thanks.

But recently a book by Brian Reid, 'No Holding Back, Operation Totalize.' came to another slightly different conclusion...................!

Nothing to do with him being Canadian of course

(Before you think I'm dissing Canada, my grandfather was in the CEF in WW1)
