Overview:
Fearing for his left flank, the boundary with the British, General Gerow had kept his V Corps advance on a tight rein. But the success of the British BLUECOAT offensive and weakening German resistance persuaded him to change his policy to an all-out charge forward. The corps was to “drive strong and hard”. His commanders were to “bypass everything. . .let’s get down and take a bath in the Vire.” In his enthusiasm, Gerow personally ordered one of 5th Division’s regimental commanders to mount his infantry on tanks and rush them forward. But the way ahead was not easy. The low hills were covered with thick bocage, and the rearguard groups covering the withdrawal of Meindl’s Fallschirmjager Korps were adept at striking from ambush, then slipping away.Attacker: American (5th Infantry Division)
Defender: German (Fallschirmjäger Korps II)
