The battle for Lingèvres 13th-15th June 1944.
The Panzer Lehr sent to hold the line against advancing British
and Canadian forces, fought a defensive battle in the village
and the surrounding bocage country. They eventually withdrew
on the 15th June.
Things did not go to plan in our display game, as two Panther
tanks managed to KO half the attacking Shermans, stopping the
armour in its tracks - pun not intended. |
