| Dash to the Sea, November 1944 by David Pentland. As allied forces pressed inland towards Caen, the 21st panzer Division launched a counterattack along a narrow three mile corridor between the Canadians on Juno beach and the British on Sword. the charge led by fifty tanks of 22nd panzer regiment and supporting Panzer grenadiers was engaged on its eastern flank by heavy British anti tank fire and the bulk of the force was pinned down or destroyed. ultimately only six PZ IVs and a company of infantry mannered to reach the coast at lion sur mer. their stay however was short lived and within a few hours the arrival of the transports and gliders of the British 6th Airborne directly overhead forced the entire division to pull back for fear of being trapped.

The Death of Wittmann, St
Aignan de Cramesnil, France, 8th August 1944 by David Pentland. Following
an astonishing night march, the tanks of 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry
and men of 1st Battalion Black Watch found themselves ensconced in the
village of St. Aignan de Cramesnil some 4 miles behind German
lines. Shortly after noon a small group of Tiger I tanks were
spotted advancing north by 3 Troop, A Squadron. Some minutes later
Captain Boardman arrived in his Sherman I and when the enemy were within
800 yards he gave the order to open fire. The first two shots by
the troops Firefly brewed up the rearmost target. After moving to
a new position Trooper Joe Ekins fired again, knocking out a second
Tiger. Finally he turned his attention to the remaining tank,
destroying it with two more rounds. Unknown to the British tankmen
at the time it is now believed that the last Tiger was that of the top
German tank ace Hauptsturmfurher Michael Wittmann.
