A "MARK FELTON" IS ATTRIBUTING MY WORK TO OTHERS.

A Youtube clip was posted on 26 March by a "Mark Felton" describing the capture of Tiger 131.

His narration includes the statement "The Tank Museum has settled the debate after exhaustive research".

The truth is: research into Tiger 131's location was carried out by Dale Oscroft (documents), by myself (photographs/maps) and by Mustapha Ben Rejeb (on-site survey). We "settled" the matter and presented our finished research to the Tank Museum.

Mr. Felton makes several other mistakes, including: he describes British tanks on top of the hill firing down on the Tiger, but in fact it was the other way around. He states that the Afrika Korps were involved - they were not. And he shows us another tank "captured in the same battle" but really it was captured far away, seven weeks earlier. A little Web research would have yielded the facts in every case.

I think that genuine, committed researchers deserve better than seeing our work attributed to others.
