Normandy, June 9, 1944. British and Canadian attack on bridge

The British and Canadian units were extremely aggressive in their attack. The Germans were kept on the defensive the whole game.

the Luftwaffen Feldjagers were kept out and were eventually taken out by the 53rd Welsh Division 

3rd Anti-tank, Royal Canadian Artillery took out the Luftwaffe support tank.

7th and 8th Brigades Canadian 3rd Division advanced and hit the Germans hard

the Falsjagers had little chance to fight back

the Anti aircraft guns were another objective which was destroyed 

the Germans were using the farm as their outpost but were kept trying to stop the rush to the bridge 

the objective for both sides, British and Canadian units were to capture the bridge intact, the Germans needed it to counterattack, but with the might of the combined attack, the Germans withdrew
