    Hello Everyone

    New article I wrote in the "Canadian Military History Journal".

    Account of German armoured tactics and their assault on Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse 8/9 June 1944. A detailed analysis of the Panther tank night assault. This will be a chapter in a future book.

    "The Night of the Panthers" by Arthur Gullachsen (wlu.ca)

    BIG article, some pictures may be new to you. Maps as well.

    Free download. Free online content.

    I presume this is the reference for the flak gun being 'knocked out'. Panther Bretteville Lorg..,.jpg

    Hi Michael. The hulk is just barely visible in your photo far left. See below- this was taken some days after the battle.
