John Osborne Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I'm trying to find any informantion on Johannes Kümmel. He was with the Panzer-Regiment 8 DAK. He is in the same category as Michael Wittmann. There seems to be more info on Wittmenn then there is on Kümmel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Wonder if this is him. From "The Tiger Tanks" by Peter Gudgin. " 501 Heavy Tank Battalion, with the Field Post Number 25032, had received its first two Tiger 1s on 30 August 1942, at which time it was also designated to be the first of the two battalions promised to Rommel in North Africa. It started its training for service in North Africa at the beginning of October, under the guidance of a Major Kummel, an Afrika Korps tank officer experienced in desert warfare." Unfortunately, that's all there is on him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Wiking and I never heard of Mr. Leck being one of the six Great German Tankers. Panther Commander 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
