Overview:
The day broke with a thundering artillery barrage as the infantry moved to their Forming Up Places. But their progress was slow. Reserve battalions intended to exploit success were occupied behind the lines, combating isolated pockets if fanatical resistance. By midday, the infantry were grinding to a halt. 11th Armoured Division under "Pip" Roberts was commanded to attempt to break the stalemate. The lightly armored Cromwell tanks of the Northants Yeomanry forced a path through the ruins of Cheux. As the tanks negotiated the rubble, tank commanders used pistols and phosphorous grenades to fight off Hitler Youth carrying magnetic antitank grenades. Breaking through to open ground, the Yeomanry came under tank fire -- a single Tiger tank which "soon sorta things out".Attacker: British (2nd Northants Yeomanry & 23rd Hussars)
Defender: German (SS) (12th SS Panzer Division Hitler Jugend)
