Historical Background:
On the 29th of July 1944, US troops of General Bradley were advancing towards Avranches after the breakthrough of the Operation Cobra. The German command tried to close the gap by all means. A kampfgruppe (occasional battle group) of the 2.Panzer Division, composed with 20 tanks and two companies of Panzer Grenadier Regiment 304, captured the crossroad of la Denisiere, on the road between le Mesnil-Herman and Villebaudon. Entrenched around the crossroad, the kampfgruppe stopped the US advance and destroyed several vehicles including 25 tanks. The crossroad was recaptured the day after by US troops and the remnants of the kampfgruppe withdrew to Moyon.
