ENOUGH...enough.....enough.....

I am fearful of symmetry.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Whittmann was unlikely to be shooting at Matlidas.

Wasn't Wittmann swanning around France in 1940 in a StuG?

I believe Wittman was with the LSSAH SS-Sturm-Batterie in the Balkans and Greece from autumn 1940 to mid-1941 and that that was his first combat assignment.

I know there were Matilda's on Crete but don't think there were any where Wittman was operating.

I await proof, from the erudite members of this forum, that I am entirely mistaken
