CHAMPFLEUR, FRANCE, August 11, 1944:
The previous day, the 2nd DB left Le Mans for Alençon. They wanted to advance quickly to cut off the retreat of the 7th German Army. To the south of Alençon, on August 11, Tactical Group Dio was slowed down by elements of the 9th Panzer Division, which were cut off in Bourg-le-Roi. The artillery and airstrikes dislodged them quickly. Captain Noël continued to chase down stragglers. Lieutenant Krebs signalled him that three Panzers were moving toward Champfleur. Noël then ordered Krebs to head toward the village without waiting for him to join. It was 1630 hrs when Krebs saw the first houses.
The German Panther has a massive punch that has no problem dispatching all the Allied armour, The allied armour has no infantry support with predictable results as they move into a built up area to take victory hexes.
