swords to his Knights Cross.
Dash to the Sea, November 1944 by David
Pentland ."Dash to the Sea" by David Pentland. As
allied forces pressed inland towards Caen, the 21st panzer Division
launched a counterattack along a narrow three mile corridor between the
Canadians on Juno beach and the British on Sword. the charge led by
fifty tanks of 22nd panzer regiment and supporting Panzer grenadiers was
engaged on its eastern flank by heavy British anti tank fire and the
bulk of the force was pinned down or destroyed. ultimately only six PZ
IV's and a company of infantry mannered to reach the coast at lion sur
mer. their stay however was short lived and within a few hours the
arrival of the transports and gliders of the British 6th Airborne
directly overhead forced the entire division to pull back for fear of
being trapped.
Action at Arras, France, May 21st 1940 by David Pentland
88mm AA guns of the 23rd Flak Regiment, used as anti-tank guns by
orders of Rommel himself, are shown firing on British Matilda tanks of
4th/7th Royal Tank Regiment.
THE BATTLE - ARRAS Rommel's report of being attacked by 'hundreds of tanks' put a halt
to the German advance for 24 hours. This break gave the British troops
the time they needed to arrange the retreat through Dunkirk. In an
effort to restrain the Germans advance the British 1st Tank Brigade, 6th
Durham Light Infantry and the French 3rd Light Armoured Division were
quickly mustered under the command of Major General Franklyn. The
subsequent attack on Rommel's 7th Panzer Division divided the panzers
into two, devastated two rifle regiments, and some of the 3rd SS
Division panicked and ran. However, Rommel eventually beat off the
British tanks using his anti-aircraft guns

Battle of Gazala by David Pentland
Panzer II's and III's of the African Korps, 15th Panzer Division
drive towards Arcoma during the epic battles for the Gazala line.The most convincing defeat of the British forces during the whole
desert campaigns of World War Two. The front line ran south from the
coastal town of Gazala, about 95 km west of Tobruck, to the oasis of Bir
Hacheim. In May 1942 Field Marshal Rommel launched an attack against
Gazala using two diversionary Italian corps at the north end of the line
while the two other corps (the Afrika and Italian corps) corps veered
towards Tobruck from the southern end of the line. Although surprised
the British forces fought well, inflicting heavy casualties on the
German forces and cornering them. Finding himself trapped between a
minefield and the British defences, Rommel was on the verge of
surrender. The Italian Trieste Division, however, were able to create a
supply route through the minefield to the cornered German forces
allowing them to be take on supplies. Helped by British indecision,
Rommel managed to break through the Cauldron area and overwhelm the
British defences. The British counter attack was confused and useless,
easily defeated by the German forces who then continued onto Tobruck.
Rommel defeated many British forces on the way and eventually the
British abandoned their positions and retreated to the El Alamein line.

prove a formidable foe to the attacking British and Canadian tanks.
