Villers-Bocage Through the Lens
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. The claims made of the battle are re-appraised, and the arguments set out in dozens of published accounts have been compared with primary evidence never utilized before, and evaluated anew. Perhaps the two most striking revelations come from German sources. First, graphically, by the study of the 100 photographs taken by the Germans the day after the battle. Secondly, from Wittmann's own account which refutes many of the claims of historians attempting to glamorize the action.

Praise for this book
"...will be of great interest to modelers and military historians alike."-- "AMPS Indianapolis"
"Most of the photos show destroyed British tanks, so might be of use to British armour modellers but perhaps more so to diorama builders."-- "IPMS/USA"
"Great package that can be translated into a great tabletop scenario. Better yet, the aerial photos can be used as a reference for terrain surrounding the village."-- "Historical Miniatures Gaming Society"
"...the images are all clear and well captioned, and support the narrative, which is precise and flows well."-- "Armorama"
"Highly recommended for beginner to advanced builders."-- "AMPS"
