Site Destruction Tiger of Michael Wittmann

Behind this building was the Michael Wittmann´s Tiger I nº 007 destroyed on 8 August 1944.

Michael Wittmann and his complete crew were killed. There were buried here next to the wreck of the tank in an anonymous grave which was rediscovered in 1983 when the road was widened. Now they are buried in a collective grave on La Cambe War Cemetery (plot 47, row 3, grave 120).
