Kurt Knispel..Tank ace No.1

Knispel was the leading tank ace of the panzer army.He had 168 confirmed kills.He was KIA on the eastern front.He was never awarded the Ritterkreuz .He was a sudeten Czech and I guess he wasn`t as photogenic as Michael Wittmann,nor was he Waffen SS. He served in s.Pz.Abt503 in Tiger 1 and Tiger 2 tanks.
