Re: Michael whittman
The series is called Battlefield Mysteries and its on Fridays from 15th January, at 9.00pm. It looks to be quite interesting, and should cover several military mysteries.

Re: Michael whittman
Here is some info
FOLLOW HISTORIAN NORM CHRISTIE AS HE UNCOVERS THE SECRETS OF FOUR INTRIGUING BATTLEFIELD MYSTERIES FROM THE SECOND WORLD WAR AND THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR. NORM WALKS THE OLD BATTLEFIELDS AND AIRFIELDS THAT HOLD THE ANSWERS TO THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS CONCERNING THESE FASCINATING STORIES.
EPS ONE: WHO KILLED MICHAEL WITTMANN?
NORMANDY, AUGUST 1944. THE HIGHEST SCORING GERMAN PANZER ACE, MICHAEL WITTMANN, WAS KILLED DURING A COUNTER-ATTACK AGAINST BRITISH AND CANADIAN TANKS. WITTMANN’S DEATH WENT UNEXAMINED UNTIL HIS REMAINS WERE FOUND IN 1983. NORM CHRISTIE NOW REEXAMINES THE EVIDENCE TO DETERMINE WHO KILLED THE BLACK BARON.
EPS TWO: BANDITS OF THE AIR;
THE MOSQUITO INTRUDERS
THE WOODEN MOSQUITO WAS THE QUEEN OF THE SKIES IN 1943-44. THE GERMANS HAD NOTHING TO MATCH THIS BEAUTIFUL AIRCRAFT. THE MOSQUITO TURNED THE TABLES ON THE LUFTWAFFE, AND THE HUNTER BECAME THE HUNTED, AS THE PLYWOOD WONDER STALKED THE SKIES OVER OCCUPIED EUROPE.
EPS THREE: THE SIEGE OF MALTA, 1940-42;
THE TURNING POINT IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.
THE SIEGE OF MALTA WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT BATTLE IN 1941-42. THE COURAGE OF THE MALTESE CIVILIANS IN THE FACE OF INDESCRIBABLE BOMBING, AND THE AMAZING SPITFIRE PILOTS, SUCH AS CANADIAN BUZZ BEURLING, HELPED TURN THE TIDE IN THIS CRITICAL, BUT LITTLE APPRECIATED, CAMPAIGN.
EPS FOUR: THE LOST GRAVES OF THE INTERNATIONAL BRIGADE.
THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR,1936-39, WAS ONE OF THE MOST COMPLICATED AND PASSIONATE EPISODES IN MODERN HISTORY. SPAIN BECAME THE SHOWDOWN BETWEEN THE RISING WAVE OF FASCISM, AND THOSE WHO DECIDED IT HAD TO BE STOPPED. THOUSANDS OF INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS CAME TO SPAIN, INCLUDING 1600 CANADIANS, TO FIGHT THE FASCISTS. BY THE END OF THE WAR HALF HAD SIMPLY VANISHED. WHAT BECAME OF THE MISSING OF THE INTERNATIONAL BRIGADES?
