Overview:
"Counterattack at Villers-Bocage" -- Six days after D-Day, the bastion of Caen was held too firmly to be taken frontally by the British 1st Corps. The decision was made to attack Caen from the sides, known as Operation Perch. A little after 0900 hrs, Squadron B of the 4th County of London Yeomanry arrived, as a point element, At Villers-Bocage with a section of the motorized infantry, 1st Rifle Brigade (called Green Jackets) and took up a position in the village. Squadron A continued to a position on the western slope of hill 213. The Germans decided to halt the encirclement. At 0915 hrs, a detachment of tanks from Schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 101 controlled by SS-Obersturmfuhrer Michael Wittman and supported by Panzergrenadiers, attacked the British at Villers-Bocage.Attacker: German (SS) (Schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 101/Panzer-Lehr Division)
