Overview:
During the defensive fighting of 10 July, a new German formation appeared on the scene -- the 164th Light Division. Its 382nd Grenadier Regiment was flung into the fray direct from their point of embarkation. As part of Kampfgruppe Hecker, gun-layer Günter Halm and his unit were responsible for halting a British break-through around the northern flank of the Panzer Armee. On the edge of a three-hundred-yard long wadi waited Halm and an anti-tank column of the 10th Panzer Grenadier regiment, armed with Russian 7.2 cm guns. As the smoke from British artillery lifted, a shout was heard, "they're coming!"Attacker: British (21st Armoured Brigade)
Defender: German / Italian (104th Panzergrenadier Regiment and Halm's Battery with Brescia Division)
