This guy took on 3 Tiger tanks single-handed?

Usually it took 3-4 Shermans to knock one out (loosing 2-3 Shermans in the process)!

Where do we get such men?

I think that the Mark IV was smaller than a Tiger.

Like it matters. When they were handing out Guts, this guy got an extra helping.

And, actually, I just did a little homework. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_IV

<P)I’ve seen one of these at the Tank Museum in Danville, VA and was surprised at how modern it looked.

We get such men from America ... and don't let the DBM and the rest of the liberals fool you. We still get them.

He achieved a mobility kill on one of the three, which is probably as much as was possible with a bazooka. In fact, if he was actually aiming at the track (which he hit) he was smart. No way would it have penetrated the frontal armour. The other two got away. Citation doesn't say what happened to them.
