August 1, 1944*
Highway to Tessy sur Vire*
*
While our bataillon was pinned down in front of the St. Lo, task force C occupied it after short house to house fighting.
After a short rest and refitting period we continued our advance south.
Meanwhile our forces broke out of the Normandy bridgehead during Operation Cobra.
The attack southwards in our sector stalled, however, after the Germans replaced the remnants of the 352nd Infanterie with the veteran 2nd Panzer Division.
Now we are on the attack again.
The target: Tessy sur Vire.
While we and the 2nd Armoured Division are attacking from the west, the 30th Infantry is approaching the target from the north.

*
*
Objectives: Clear the highway towards Tessy.*
*
Enemy: You will face tanks, assault guns and armoured infantry of the 2nd Panzer Division.

The weather is foggy this morning. Use this to your advantage and out maneuvre the Panzers.
