The German strung a line all long the ridge and got the Tigers entering on the first turn. The Brits preplanned arty was minimally effective as the Germans had pulled back their line at set up. The British air was spotty and they rolled very low OBA to call in. The result was a direct assault on a dug in position supported by tank and arty. The German 88 moved forward and also added to the maelstrom of fire from the German lines. The Summerstes attempted to help breach the line, but were cut down. The DCLi made no impression on the German front at all. German victory.
