Filming D-Day to Berlin

Look out! Tiger Tiger!

SS Obersturmfurher Michael Wittmann's Tiger Tank attacks the enemy near Villers-Bocage in Normandy, 13 June 1944. In one of the most famous actions of the campaign, the celebrated Eastern Front tank ace severely mauled a column of advancing British armour and infantry with his single tank, driving them back through the village with great loss.

Historical Film Services* arranged a number of combat and other reconstructions, sourcing specialist re-enactors, armoured vehicle owners and firearms suppliers.  We acted as military co-ordinators on set and also assisted with sourcing appropriate locations.
