Waffen SS Hauptsturmfuhrer Michael Wittmann has to be WWII's most prolific figure in tank warfare. In one engagement, he destroyed fourteen British tanks and vehicles in a span of fifteen minutes. His Tiger was eventually destroyed in Villers-Bocage during the Battle of Normandy.
Exactly how he was killed has never been fully discovered and historians have mixed opinions as to his tactical performance in battle—some praising his actions at Villers-Bocage, and some finding his abilities lacking, and the praise for his tank kills overblown. Whatever the true history of his service is, he certainly has cemented himself as a figure of history - a face of the panzers.
