John Gorman
first man to destroy a King Tiger in Normandy by ramming it in a Sherman V
Link
but my favourite is Kurt Knispel with 168 confirmed kills
*Knispel's slow promotion is attributed to several conflicts with higher Nazi authorities (for instance, he assaulted an Einsatzgruppen officer whom he saw mistreating Soviet POWs) and general lack of military bearing, sporting a goatee and hair longer than regulations. Only his impressive track-record saved him from ending up in a military prison

Sure if he didn't do it in less than 15 minutes it would have been a draw.0 -

John Gorman: got his kills by camping in a Firefly.
Michael Wittmann: killed by a camping Firefly.
There's a theme starting here....
discovery channel had a show about how he was likely killed. He was going across an empty field, and got taken out by a canadian tank hiding behind a wall. They worked out that the damage to the tank was consistent with it being shot through the side away from some fireflies.
When I saw the show all I could think was "noob going across the big field at campinovka" :pac:
Two other tiger's were taken out as well. A frenchman took a picture of wittmans tank because the turret was completely blown off and upside down and they know it was wittmans because his number was visible. Killed by a single shot from a sherman at about 150 meters.

It always bugged me that WOT made Tigers so ****.0 -
yeah tigers were the bee's knee's and the cats pajamas0
