World War II, analyzed!

Hello,
I just finished watching the History Channel (in Canada) about the final battle of Michael Wittmann.
If I remember right, on this site the cause of death was destruction of this Tiger by a Typhoon attack.
A British Firefly crew also claim killing Wittmann, as well, as of late, the Canadian Sherbrooke regiment.
On the show, the host, Norm Christie visited the son of the farmer who took the photo of Tiger 007 in 1945.
He showed him relics retrieved from the tank. One was a piece of floor from Wittmann's turret. This is the piece missing in the photo taken in 1945.
He also had Wittmann's throat mike.
He also showed Christie the site of the communal remains of Wittmann's crew. It was in a field on the farm, not when they dug up some land for a new highway, unless the highway was not built. There they had found bone fragments, Wittmann's revolver among other items.
Christie also had a survey crew with him. They used aerial reconnaisance photos from 1944 to identify where the four tigers where in the field.
They then identified where the British Firefly had been and the location of the Canadian tanks.
The first four Tigers were under 800 metres from the British Firefly. A good range for a good shot.
This supports the claim of the British gunner who hit all three Tigers.
Wittmann's Tiger was over 1000 metres away from the Firefly, a not so good a shot unless you were very lucky.
When the survey crew plotted the distance between Wittmann and the Canadian tanks, it was under 150 metres.
The Canadian CO said that he did not see who hit Wittmann as many of the tanks were shooting at him. He did see however, the turret being blown off.
The shot that hit Tiger 007 was just behind the turret and on top of the hull. This ignited the fuel and ammunition which blew the turret off. It was also on the opposite side from the British Firefly.
It was interesting to hear the comments from the Allied tankers.
Although Wittmann was famous in Germany, these tankers, and probably a lot more, had never heard of him.
The British gunner thought Wittmann was a criminal. " Anyone who invades someone else's country is a criminal, and he was fighting for Hitler."
In the British CO's opinion, Wittmann was "at this stage of war, on a carry me off to Valhalla and all that stuff" charge.
