6 August, 1944
Vire, France
The battle for Vire had raged for several days. The 30th Infantry Division had tried but couldn't push the 2nd SS Panzer Division from the area. Now it was the turn of the 2nd Armored Division's Combat Command A (CCA). They were all set to fight another battle in the hedgerows with the SS Panzer Division. When morning came though the SS were gone. In their place was a defense made up of a hodgepodge of German Infantry units.
During the night the Germans had pulled the 2nd SS Panzer Division out of the line and shifted it to the east. Now holding the line were elements of the 3rd Fallschrimjager Division, the 352nd Infantry Division and a Kampf Group of the 206th Infantry Division. The unit that tied it all together was the 394th Assault Gun Brigade. This was to be their first action and they were to prove a very formidable foe.
Now it's time to spend an hour in the hedgerows of France just outside the town of Vire. Can you take the town? We'll see.
