One minor point. Maj. S. V. Radley-Walters was Canadian and not British. He was the commander of A Sqn of the Sherbrooke Fusiliers.

Pardon, you are right. According to Ken Tout Maj. S. V. Radley-Walters' Firefly hit Wittmann's tank for the first time but his Tiger was still serviceable. Next hit came, most likely, from Joe Elkins' British Firefly codenamed "3 Charlie" but perhaps it was not the last hit. Hard to say, there is also "RAF thread" in this success, or maybe RCAF(?), who knows, not only RAF used the Typhoon fighters.

The success has great number of the fathers , fiasco is an orpham...
