The Battle For Villers-Bocage
Normandy, 12-16 June 1944
The Allies swarmed ashore on 6 June 1944 and gained a foothold in France. Over the next several days both sides raced forces to the battlefield in an effort to establish their operational supremacy. Slowly the Americans pushed back the German 352. Infanteriedivision while the British troops fought against the veteran Panzer Lehr Division.
The race is on as the famous Desert Rats run around the flank of the German positions and plunge deep into the rear area of the 1. SS-Panzerkorps. Only the famous Tiger ace Obersturmführer Wittmann and a few Tigers stand in their way after making an all night drive to Point 213.
It is here the race will be decided in classic fashion as the steel beasts of modern war clash in an epic struggle to determine a winner. The chance to take the port of Caen and rout two German Panzer Divisions was to be decided by a few brave men.
MORE INFO
Thousands of bombers blanket the earth in a rain of destruction in the heaviest tactical bombing raid yet. The Americans begin the final push to throw the Germans out of Normandy. After weeks of battling through impenetrable hedgerows for a few yards of French soil, the US Army has broken out of the beachhead. Operation Cobra has cracked the German front lines.
Now the hounds are loosed. The veteran 2nd 'Hell On Wheels' Armored Division smashes through German divisions still flattened by the bombing. Beside them the 3rd 'Spearhead' Armored Division races into he disorganised rear of broken German fromations. Everywhere American task forces roll down roads, opposition crumbling before them.
However, not all of the Germans are done with fighting. As the Americans begin to encircle German forces cut off in the Roncey pocket, the hardened e. 'Das Reich' SS-Panzerdivision strikes south, breaking free of the trap.
The two forces clash in the dark, each struggling to accomplish their mission and deny the other side victory. When morning light comes, both sides now know that the fight has only just begun, neitehr willing to relinquish the field of battle to the other
