你不是很喜欢拿实例说话么,我就给你举个例子,1944年8月8日发生Cinthauex附近德军反击英军Totalize行动时爆发的坦克战,也是德军著名Tiger王牌维特慢战死的战役。原文作者是来自于SC的xellos
主要交战双方是英军北安普顿郡义勇骑兵团1营A中队3分队和党卫军101重装甲营
维基百科上最近更新的有关魏特曼阵亡原因的探究和证据:
Death
The only known photograph of the wrecked Tiger 007, taken by French civilian Mr. Serge Varin in 1945, still in the field near Gaumesnil where it had been stopped a year before.Michael Wittmann was killed on August 8, 1944 while taking part in a counterattack to retake Hill 122, near the town of St. Aignan de Cramesnil. The town and surrounding high ground had been captured a few hours previously by Anglo-Canadian forces during Operation Totalize.[21][22]
A group of seven Tiger tanks from the 3rd Company and HQ Company, Schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 101 supported by several Panzer IV and Stug IV were ambushed by tanks from A Squadron, 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry, 33rd Armoured Brigade, A Squadron, the Sherbrooke Fuisilier Regiment, 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade and B Squadron, The 144 Royal Armoured Corps, 33rd Armoured Brigade.[23][7][24][10][9][22]
最早提出英军北安普顿郡义勇骑兵团1营A中队3分队萤火虫坦克炮手Ekins击毁魏特曼座车的描述
The killing shots have long been thought to have come from a Sherman Firefly of ‘3 Troop’, A Squadron, 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry (commander - Sergeant Gordon; gunner - Trooper Joe Ekins), which was positioned in a wood called Delle de la Roque on the advancing Tigers' right flank[25] at approximately 12:47.[26]
It appears the shells penetrated the upper hull of the tank and ignited the Tiger's own ammunition, causing a fire which engulfed the tank and then blew off the turret.[27]
[edit] Discredited claims
For such a junior officer, there has been quite a lot of speculation surrounding how he died. At the time of his death, although the majority of allied soldiers had never heard of him,[28] Wittmann had become a household name within Germany.[29]
In 1985, Issue 48 of After the Battle Magazine was published, containing an article on the last battle of Michael Wittmann. In this issue, Les Taylor, another member of the 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry during the war, stated that Joe Ekins was the man who was responsible for the death of Wittmann.[7]
The 1st Polish Armoured Division, the 4th Canadian Armoured Division, the 144 Regiment Royal Armoured Corps and the RAF Second Tactical Air Force have also been the subject of claims to have killed Wittmann. No Holding Back, a book by Brian Reid on Operation Totalize, contains an entire appendix devoted to the death of Michael Wittmann, in which these claims are completely discredited.
Examination of the armoured divisions' war diaries revealed that they were too far north of St. Aignan de Cramesnil to have taken any part in the defeat of the German armoured counterattack. Investigation also ruled out the 144 Royal Armoured Corps; although they did take part in defeating the counterattack, they were positioned around Cramesnil and therefore out of effective range of Wittmann’s tank. The regiment did originally claim that they destroyed two Tigers during this German counterattack. However, their commanding officer changed this claim to one Tiger and one Panzer IV destroyed, post-battle.[30]

记录片简介:此片为2008年12月初加拿大历史频道首播,十分难得的第1次细致考证著名德军坦克王牌魏特曼1944年8月8日在Cinthauex附近战场反击英军Totalize作战行动中阵亡的过程经过.
除著名的加拿大主持人外,1998年撰写Villers-Bocage through the lens一书的作者丹尼尔泰勒也作为特邀佳宾参加了该片前半部分有关波卡基村之战过程的简单介绍,但片中后半部分出现了更为重要的重量级人物,他就是专门考究SS101重装甲营战史装备的法国人Yann Jouault.
从07年起到08年,Yann基本研究出了当时被英军北安普顿郡义勇骑兵团和加拿大军舍布鲁克燧发枪兵团摧毁在战场上的5辆SS101所属虎式坦克中除霍夫林格SS少尉座车外4辆的战术编号并确认了他们的实际位置.此片虽然没有详细说明他的研究经过和证明,但对于每辆坦克的编号说明则是准确无误的.
8月8日中午的战场交战经过是:魏特曼指挥8辆虎式坦克分为两组沿158号公路两侧由南向北发动进攻,由他亲自带领的4辆坦克中的3辆虎首先遭到东北方向800米外英军北安普顿郡义勇骑兵团1辆萤火虫坦克的攻击,该坦克的炮手埃金斯从12时40分起用15分钟左右的时间三进三退,先后摧毁009号,312号以及试图倒车迅速脱离交战的314号虎式坦克.
与此同时,紧临158号公路的007在不知不觉的情况下遭到位于其左后方150余米开外,隐蔽在Gaumesnil古堡庄园外围围墙背后的加拿大舍布鲁克燧发枪兵团A中队坦克群的伏击,007号车体左后位置的发动机中弹起火燃烧,数秒钟后弹药殉爆,炮塔被震离座圈,翻转抛落到007的车体右侧,包括魏特曼本人在内的5名车组乘员全数阵亡.
007号殉爆前,位于007号左侧公路上的霍夫林格座车也被摧毁,等他爬出坦克,刚好亲眼目睹了007号的大爆炸.
PS:当包括魏特曼007号在内的4辆虎式编队遭到全数摧毁时,他们的炮塔一致都朝向东北英军萤火虫坦克的埋伏位置,说明埃金斯的攻击的确给他们造成了重大威胁,同时也给加拿大军埋伏在农庄附近的坦克创造了绝佳的进攻机会.
现在是有关谁摧毁了魏特曼座车的疑问,可惜目前我们依然无法得出准确的结论.
英军萤火虫炮手Ekins长期以来一直被认为是摧毁007的人,但英军作战记录始终认为北安普顿义勇骑兵团1营A中队当天只摧毁了3辆虎式坦克.所以当片中的主持人问法国考证者Yann"萤火虫的有效射击距离大概有多远时",Yann回答说:"大概800米左右.虽然可以达到1200米,只是在那个距离上要命中基本是靠运气"
要知道Ekins的萤火虫当时距离009,312和314的距离仅有750-770米左右,而距离魏特曼则达到了900-1000M,所以Ekins不大可能是摧毁魏特曼的人.
然而即使加拿大舍布鲁克燧发枪兵团坦克群伏击007成功的说法成立,我们依然无法推断到底是谁开火摧毁了007号.该团A中队的指挥官Walters只是回忆当时他自己没有开火,开火的是身旁的战友坦克(包括了5辆M4 MKIII和2辆FF)
法国村民于45年3月拍摄的著名007号残骸照

此为英军8月9日空中侦察时拍摄到的007号(注意其炮塔坠落后的实际位置.由于此照是反向拍摄的,所以炮塔位置显示于车体"左侧")

009号虎,SS101重装甲营营部通讯官多林格SS少尉的座车

314号虎,SS101重装甲营作战军官威利伊里恩SS少尉的座车(伊里恩本人阵亡),从英军萤火虫炮手的回忆来看,314的炮塔左侧不应该出现弹洞,这可能是战后盟军坦克对残骸进行试射时造成的创口

另外312号(基斯特斯SS上士的座车)至今没有获得清楚的近照.只有战场俯视照

考证SS101战史的专家,法国人Yann在Missing-Lynx上发表的战场解释图,可以看到除4辆已知被摧毁的虎式坦克外霍夫林格座车可能的被毁位置(位于158号公路)

整个战斗经过就是英军1辆M4萤火虫坦克,于掩蔽处3进3退,在15分钟时间内摧毁了德军SS101重装甲营的3辆虎I坦克,并迫使其他虎1坦克撤退 |
