Answer

During his famous engagement at Villers-Bocage on 13 June 1944, Michael Wittmann claimed to have destroyed 15 British armoured personnel carriers (APCs). This claim is likely exaggerated, as it would have required Wittmann to have destroyed two APCs per minute for the duration of the battle.
