Although I believe that Mr. Kenny may be TOO sceptical of German sources, he does have the perfect point here-
Quote:
Can anyone point me to a checkable source, that is other than the report of the crew claiming the kills?
If I can answer? NO.

In 99% of these cases, there were few if any unbiased witnesses to any of these tanks fights. Nor is there any film or photos. Nor is there any surviving evidence today. Nor are there complete unbiased Russian records which could verify any story.

Thus... we are left with only the testimony of the combatants and vague circumstantial evidence.

As I mentioned above, I most certainly will maintain my scepticism.
