The new Heimdal book on Villers is an update on Henri Marie's original 1993 'Villers Bocage, Tigres Au Combat. Le Champ De Battaille'. It has a section by Schneider re-assesing Wittmans tally (should be no more than 10). It also looks closely at the Dyas version about meeting Wittmann head on at the top of the Rue Pasteur. I have no advance information about the contents of the book but I know Henri Marie (like me) now believes this version to be incorrect. As for the turret numbers of the Tiger wrecks in Villers the only solid evidence is for 112. 111 is almost certain as is 212.
