Uhm as far as I know, Wittmanns tank were hit by 3 or 4 Fireflys simultaneously, as he broke cover to charge them in his Tigerpanzer 007.

The man who fired the round that killed Miachael Wittman..

I think that recently it is believed that he didn't KOed Wittmann's tank, or at least that it seems to be "unlikely" he did. It now looks as if that kill has to be credited to a canadian unit.

Cheers
