Villers-Bocage Through the Lens
An analysis of the tank battle that took place at Villers-Bocage in 1944, when the 7th Armoured Division, or "Desert Rats", took on German panzers and were heavily defeated. The text bases its arguments on photographs taken in the aftermath and the testimony of German tank ace Michael Wittmann.
Villers-Bocage has, for years, been the battle that confirmed the reputation of Germany's greatest tank ace, Michael Wittmann. In this book the battle is analyzed in depth for the first time through detailed examination of the images taken by war photographers after the town was captured by German forces.
