Historical Background:
During the German counter-attack towards Saint-Jean-de-Daye, the 1st battalion of the Panzer-Grenadier Lehr Regiment 901 attacked the village of Le Dézert held by infantrymen of the 9th US Infantry Division. Despite their resistance, the Allied troops were overwhelmed by the assault of the German panzergrenadiers and the HQ of the 3/39 US battalion was captured. Nevertheless the attack of the Panzer Lehr Division was stopped in front of Saint-Jean-de-Daye by powerful artillery fire and by the intervention of numerous Allied fighter-bombers.
