attempt at a panoramic shot
Royal Artillery take up position to sweep the British and Canadian front
the recce units probe forward followed by the 7th Armoured Division
the 4 Armoured Brigade takes the center covered by the 11th Armoured Division in the rear
the Germans hold a fortified town. The objective was for the British and Canadian units to take out the supply objective.
After the first round, the Anglo-Canadian force was unable to break through the line completely. Three times the Canadians had taken the German trenches, but each time they counter attacked. The Royal Artillery gave a good account of themselves, as did the Royal Air Force by taking out the German Nebelwefer, but the Canadian Second Division just couldn't hit the Germans hard enough. By the time of turn six, only the fifth and sixth brigades remained.
Once again 1st SS LSSAH held the line.
