In addition, using the authentic uniform as reference, Michael Wittmann's favorite SS-drill work suit and all its details have been sculpted on this figure. He can be seen wearing this uniform in every photo of him during the Normandy front. He wore this uniform even at the time of the Battle of Villers-Bocage, which made Michael Wittmann the most famous tank ace in history. The Wittmann figure will complement perfectly the previously released SS-Stubaf. Heintz von Westernhagen(35020).
