Overview:
As the German right wing swept through Belgium, the well-equipped 3rd and 4th Panzer Divisions closed on the Gembloux Gap, a three-mile wide causeway of mostly flat, rural terrain between the streams Petite Gette and Mehaigne, defended by the French 3rd DLM (armor division). The two sides clashed on the 12th, but action climaxed on the 13th as opposing combined arms forces fought bitterly for control of two key villages, Jandrain and Merdrop, in opposite corners of an area barely 2 km square. On that day, the French committed almost 240 tanks and the Germans more than 560 in what was then the largest armor battle in history.Attacker: German (4th Panzer Division, 5th Panzer Brigade with 4th Motorized Rifle Brigade and 3rd Panzer Division, 3rd Panzer Brigade with 3rd Motorized Rifle Brigade and 5th Panzer Brigade)
Defender: French (Jandrain Garrison: 1st Battalion, 11th Dragoons with Hotchkiss Tanks. Merdorp Garrison: 2nd Cuirassiers. NE Perimeter Garrison: 13th Divisional Anti-TankSquadron. LOC Garrison, and Jauche Reinforcements, 1st Cuirassiers)
