Last stand of Olt. Herschberger

Oberleutnant Herschberger, alone, the rest of is Pak crew killed or wounded is holding out in the woods facing the brunt of the enemy's crescendo of light and medium HE shells from the tanks south of the river.

Heavy fighting at 'Butcher's Neck' in the north

The fighting in the north intensified at what my Waffen-SS Grenadiers already christened 'Butcher's Neck'. Another tank, a Somua S35 was knocked out by a SP 37mm Flak. The Dragoons still refuse to give ground though.

Heavy fighting in the south

The advanced elements of the enemy have been slowed down. However, there were some casualties on my side as well. The fight has been vicious and half of the platoon ordered with the delaying action has been knocked out and is on it's way to withdraw to a second line of defence.
