24th Lancers vs 12th SS panzer division

Discussion in 'NW Europe' started by Michael Thomson, May 20, 2020.

  1. Hi. I've been reading up on the action of the 24th Lancers in Normandy and the 12th SS Panzer Division and have read 'By tank into Normandy' by Stuart Hills, 'Tank Action' by David Render and 'Waffen SS armour in Normandy' by Norbert Szamveber.

    None of these books tie up exactly who the 24th Lancers or 12th SS panzers were fighting against, so I was wondering if anyone could give a brief summary of when and where these two units fought against each other during the period D-Day to end of June 1944?

    Thanks in advance.

    And if you add a "tag" to the first post in a thread - you can see other relevant threads...

    Edit - also - I'm not sure if this points out some of the complexities -

    As to who was fighting whom and brief summaries etc. as it's just for a few days.
