Falaise Gap: Hill 140 drama

[Darrell Zinck]

Hi

I have spoken with Radley-Walters (Or just "Rad" as he's known in the Corps) 2 yrs ago when he visited the Regt (he was a Dragoon too) about the Wittman case, he told me he did not think he made the kill shot. He recalled hitting Wittman but having to shift targets and when he looked again, the tank he took to be Witmann's was exploding. Straight from the horses mouth.

Nice man with a great amount of stories. He was really really hard on our subbies as I take it to be a pet peeve of his that subbies must be well- prepared and trained for battle.

He moved from his farm and had to give up some of his trophys so we (the RCD) have his Golden Sherman and Ferret here. The Armd School in Gagetown has his Lynx on display now too.

Great man.

regards
