Introduction |
---|
As long as the British were east of the Orne River they could launch attacks to expand their beachhead without having to factor in a river crossing. The advantages of this were obvious to both sides, so as the British rushed men to the beaches to expand the bridgehead, the Germans looked around for enough troops to drive the Allies back over the Orne. A strong infantry forced back by armor formed up behind the strongpoint of Breville to drive the enemy back over the bridges at Benouville. |
Conclusion |
---|
The mission failed, being more than the grenadiers could accomplish, but it was a near run thing. They destroyed five of the tanks supporting the 7th Battalion, and the Paras only turned them back with a bayonet charge by C Company of the 13th Parachute Battalion. As quiet descended on the battlefield, the Germans conceded that the British had come to stay. |
