THE BATTLE -Battle of the Bulge (or Ardennes Offensive):
Throughout December and January of 1945 Hitler's code-named plan
'Watch on the Rhine' took place. Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt was to
break through the US line at Ardennes in order to create a German
salient or 'bulge' which would isolate Allied forces at the north end of
the corridor created by the drive. The casualties were tremendous and
included Hitler's elite Panzer units. The German counteroffensive,
although pinning US troops for some weeks, eventually failed.
Three Panzer units were used in the operation, the 5th, 6th and 7th
along with a troop of English-speaking Germans in US uniforms commanded
by Otto Skorzeny. The operation began on 16th December on a 113km
section of the front line under the watch of US 1st Army and General
Bradley's 12th Army. This section of the front had been quiet in the
previous months and so the Allies were taken by surprise, and Allied air
support could not be scrambled because of poor weather conditions. These
factors allowed the German troops to advance quickly.

| Prepare to Ram, Operation Goodwood, normandy, 18th July 1944 by David Pentland. While probing forward near Cagny on the initial day of the Goodwood offensive, Lt John Gorman, a troop commander of 2nd Armoured Battalion, Irish Guards, suddenly found himself confronted by a Tiger II and three Tiger Is of the elite 503rd Heavy Tank Battalion. Supported by only one other Sherman, and aware that their 75mm guns would be ineffective against such monsters, he gave the order to his driver to ram the King tiger. Gormans tank Ballyragget succeeded in colliding with its target before the Tigers 88mm gun could be brought to bear on his Sherman, and with both tanks immobilised the crews quickly abandoned their tanks. Lt. Gorman, however, was not finished and making his way off the field, he returned shortly afterwards with a Sherman Firefly, to finish off the stricken Tiger II and one of the Tiger Is. For this action he was awarded the Military Cross, and his driver L/Cpl Baron the Military Medal. Signed limited edition of 1150 prints. Image size 25 inches x 16.5 inches (64cm x 42cm).

"Debut at Caumont", Normandy 30th July, 1944 by
David Pentland DHM1027
The Jagdpanther was considered by many to have been
the most potent anti-tank weapon of the war, combining the armoured lines
of the Panther tank and awesome power of the 88mm gun. This was probably
first demonstrated during the British advance through the Caumont Gap
during "Operation Bluecoat" when the Jagdpanthers of Heavy Tank
Battalion 654 engaged the Churchills of the 6th Guards Tank Brigade. A
squadron of Churchills covering Point 226 suddenly started exploding one
after another. Breaking cover from the "Bois du Homme" 2
Jagdpanthers covered by a third proceeded to pick off more of the British
tanks only retreating when they came under fire. Although the 2
Jagdpanthers had to be abandoned due to track damage, they managed to
destroy 14 of the Scots Guards tanks in an engagement which lasted only 2
minutes!
"Prepare to Ram", Operation Goodwood, Normandy,
18th July 1944 by David PentlandWhile probing forward near Cagny on the initial day of
the "Goodwood" offensive, Lt John Gorman, a troop commander of
2nd Armoured Battalion, Irish Guards, suddenly found himself confronted by
a Tiger II and three Tiger I's of the elite 503rd Heavy Tank Battalion.
Supported by only one other Sherman, and aware that their 75mm guns would
be ineffective against such monsters, he gave the order to his driver to
ram the King tiger. Gorman's tank "Ballyragget" succeeded in
colliding with it's target before the Tiger's 88mm gun could be brought to
bear on his Sherman, and with both tanks immobilised the crews quickly abandoned
their tanks. Lt. Gorman, however, was not finished and making his way off
the field, he returned shortly afterwards with a Sherman Firefly, to
finish off the stricken Tiger II and one of the Tiger I's. For this action
he was awarded the Military Cross, and his driver L/Cpl Baron the Military
Medal.

"The Falaise Gap" Normandy 12-20th August 1944 by David
Pentland
After almost two months of continuous fighting in the front line,
remnants of the 12th SS Panzer Division, "Hitler Jugend", fall
back under incessant air attacks by allied fighter bombers for their
final battles in France. In their defense of the northern flank of what
is to become the Falaise Gap the new Jagdpanzer IV in particular is to
prove a formidable foe to the attacking British and Canadian tanks.
