Historical Background:
Normandy, July 8, 1944. On its advance along road number 8, the 120th Infantry Regiment (30th US Infantry Division) reached the village of Le Dézert. The American soldiers captured the village despite the fierce resistance of the 2.SS Panzer Division "Das Reich". On July 9th, SS troops counter-attacked but were repelled by the massive support provided by the US Air Force and the heavy fire of the 743th Tank Battalion. The next day, the 120th Infantry Regiment was relieved by the 39th Infantry Regiment from the 9th US Infantry Division.
