Overview:
As the Germans were being squeezed in the shrinking Falaise Pocket, 90 kilometres east, Lieutenant-General George S. Patton’s Third Army had captured Dreux and established bridgeheads over the Aunay River. Patton immediately ordered his reconnaissance units to race for the Seine River. The US Third Army was moving so rapidly that it threatened to capture crossing sites over the Seine, cutting off the I SS-Panzerkorps. The American pressure did not lessen and the 18.Luftwaffenfelddivision was ordered to attack the American bridgehead at Mantes-Gassicourt, but this attack was upset by the hasty attack by reconnaissance elements of the US 79th Infantry Division, which split the 18.Luftwaffenfelddivision from its flanking unit – the 49.Infanteriedivision. To alleviate the pressure on the right flank the Jägerregiment 48 launched an attack with support of assault guns that morning. Meeting initially with partial success, the troops suffered 50 percent casualties, which halted the drive. The division received an order to withdraw towards Rouen.Attacker: German (Elements of the 48th Jäger Regiment, 18th Luftwaffenfelddivision)
Defender: American (Elements of the 314th Infantry Regiment, 79th Infantry Division)
