Wittman`s Tiger end
I saw that documentary, and it really seems that Wittman`s group were tired and had not not really thought out this move well. It really seems that Wittman had no idea of a group of Shermans hidden behind a ridge to his left ( Sherbrookes) ,as to pass broadside right in front of them at about 150 yards was just about suicide. The Tigers were trying to advance towards the firefly Shermans at the far end of the field and were arranged to do this.The Sherbrookes were also up at a bit due to the ridge and so were able to fire downwards and to the left flank of his Tiger.
