The Myth of Wittmann

In terms of wehraboo worship culture, few have ever obtained the status of unquestioned Godhood quite like SS tank commander Michael Wittmann. Even notable historians cannot help themselves but describe his actions during the war with ever-increasing hyperbolic language.
His actions are, heroic, epic, beyond compare, truly a display of masterful skill....

But are his actions all they are cracked up to be? Is Wittmann truly as skilled as they claim or do some historians need to put their junk back in their pants and start looking at these 'legends of wartime Germany' as the Heros of Propaganda they are from an empire that died nearly 80 years ago.
