Not a pilot but a tank commander....

Two questions,

Is it true that SS-Unterführer Kurt Knispel had a strong distaste for authority and is it also true that Hermann Bix took out a KV-1s with his 38t?

Looking to buy a tank, don't know what yet, just looking for some interesting subjects....

Maybe a tank numbered 13?

Bix is most interesting to me because of his early war encounters with the Kv-1's. It is also good to see a Heer man get some credit when the SS seems to be the center of attention all the time. I believe when Bix encountered the Kv-1 he had to shoot holes in the barrel of it to survive the encounter.

Here it'll be the same me think, the usual 13's, but maybe extend it to 113, 213, 313 etc. Also have a special interest for the 5th SS Division "Wiking", 11th SS Division "Nordland", 7th Panzer Division "Ghost Division" / "Phantom Division", 505th SPz. Abt., StuG Abt. 177, StuG Abt. 189, StuG Abt. 243....
