Historical Background:
On the coastal city of Lion-sur-Mer, Germans had built the strongpoint Wn21 with a company of the 716. ID (9/736). Named "Trout" by the Allies, this strongpoint had to be neutralized by two groups of the 41st Royal Marines Commando. The British troops had lost 25 men during their landing on Queen Beach, then were under the fire of snipers during their advance to their objectives: Wn 21 "Trout" and the castle of Lion-sur-Mer. With the support of three "Centaur" tanks of the 2nd Armoured Royal Marines Support Regiment, the first group of Commandos attacked the enemy strongpoint.The Germans waited before opening fire at point blank, destroying the three tanks and inflicting heavy losses to the British soldiers by continuous mortar fire. The second group who attacked the castle was pushed back by a German counter-attack launched by infantry units supported by a self-propelled gun. Finally, the 41st RM Commando withdrew on a defensive position and took its objectives only on the next day.
