    30TH CORPS CONSOLIDATES ITS GRIP ON MONT PINCON [Allocated Title]

    Full description

    In the village of Le Plessis-Grimoult, a telegraph pole carries German direction signs pointing the way to the 272nd Wehrmacht Infantry Division and 12th SS Panzer Division (Standartenführer Kurt Meyer's) (?) in position south of Caen. Nearby lies a knocked-out 68-ton early-model Königstiger armed with the deadly 8.8cm L/71 gun, capable of destroying any tank in Allied service up to three thousand yards' range. Royal Engineers sweep the village streets for hidden mines and booby-traps. Shells burst in the distance around St Pierre la Vielle as seen from the heather and bracken-covered southern slopes of Mont Pincon. The 13/18th Hussars and 50th (Northumbrian) Division's transport climb up Mont Pincon along the road from Roucamps.
