Three enormous Jagdpanthers surprised a battalion of Scots Guards Churchills during Operation Bluecoat, Normandy 1944, with terrifying results.
Operation Bluecoat was an
offensive in the
Battle of Normandy, from 30 July until 7 August 1944, during the
Second World War. The geographical objectives of the attack, undertaken by
VIII Corps and
XXX Corps of the British
Second Army (
Lieutenant-General Miles Dempsey), were to secure the road junction of
Vire and the high ground of
Mont Pinçon. Operationally, the attack was made to exploit the success of
Operation Cobra by the
First US Army after it broke out on the western flank of the Normandy
beachhead and tactically to exploit the withdrawal of the
2nd Panzer Division from the
Caumont area, to take part in
Unternehmen Lüttich (Operation Liège) a
counter-offensive against the Americans.
