Pat, you do realise the road is turning to right, right? (Those white posts are on the outside of a bend) The photo was taken at about the left...

The map is number X from 'Breakout and Pursuit' http://ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/USA-E-Breakout/index.html

Well at least we got very clear turret markings and an unusual 8. May just be enough for an identification. But I've never studied British armor.

Let's keep you busy: [img] [img]

Here's one of the less well known photos of this wreck (there are plenty out there) This one was sold on eBay years ago, but it's a basic press...

I would say Bradley's 12th Army Group had two armies ;-) First Army with: V Corps XIX Corps VII Corps Third Army with: XV Corps XX...

I'll have to check when exactly the Germans (OB West) concluded a second landing was no longer plausible (it was indeed rather late though.....)...

Absolutely. Before the invasion there were a few exceptions, but by early August losses were considerable in all of those. And newly arriving...

Thanks for posting Pat. Good to know what sources were and weren't used. There was serious room to use additional original documents! 'Grenadier'...

Figured as much Pat ;-) Just a reminder to be cautious, even if it makes for a more boring read. :D Getting carried away (common when reading...

Interesting text, also because it is one of the few (even today) to address the German side of the story and does a rather acceptable job of it....

Great project. Only thing I would suggest is changing the facebook page. Add a 'sticky' to the top of the page to include more information on who...

p.74: "in a field near La Sellerie" p.69: has a map that puts these vehicles in the fields just east of the farmhouse. AFAIK: ALG A-18...

Nice work Pat. BTW the first photo of that article is identifed as at La Sellerie (to the NW of your arrow) in 'Dying for St-Lô'. Seems this...

Brilliant book indeed. One of my all time favorites. When you know where to look, this particular chapter can be read like a map. I found it one...

Don't focus too much on the '88' part. It usually just means some unidentified German piece of metal firing shells at you. ;-)

Short of Omaha books Pat? ;-) Based on the few I have, I'm guessing either the 197th or 467th AAA Battalion.
