“The flames went up 50 to 60 feet in the air. We all bailed out and sought shelter in the rows of potatoes. As these were well grown by August 8th they provided excellent cover.”
Ken Tout, A Fine Night for Tanks: The Road to Falaise

“Over on our left the other three tanks of our Troop are misshapen black beetles swimming in a cauldron of fire...great spouts of flame illuminate a long vista of forest...in a hurricane of blast the tops of the trees dance against a sky of incandescent orange. The explosions, starting as vermilion pinpricks, bulge into leaping rainbows of light. A huge square object rises lazily above the trees, turns slowly over and over, then drops into the writhing forest.”
Ken Tout, A Fine Night for Tanks: The Road to Falaise

“In 1942 his actions resulted in posting to officer training and a commission on 21 December 1942. It was only in 1943 that he first commanded an actual heavy tank, a Tiger of the LAH’s heavy armour company. He took part in several astonishing tank battles, both in Russia and in Normandy, and at the time of Totalize was calculated to have been responsible for knocking out, in Russia and Normandy, 138 tanks and 132 other armoured vehicles and guns. Surprisingly,”
