Historical Background:
On the 13th of May 1940, the battle was fierce on the Meuse river. Between Dinant and Houx, the 5 and 7.Panzer Division crossed the river in fighting. French troops of 5e DIM and 18e DI inflicted heavy losses to the attackers during the crossing but were gradually overwhelmed by the number and the strength of the German offensive. After the crossing , the German infantry began to infiltrate the woods overhanging the river banks. The farm "Le Hontoir", HQ of the 66e RI, was surrounded by the enemy but continued to resist. A French counter-attack was planned in the night 13th to 14th May to take the village of Haut-le-Wastia, which was a strategic position near the Molignee valley. The counter-attack was made by a squadron de the 14e RDP (Motorized Dragoons) with the support of five old armoured cars of the 1er GRDI. On the morning of the 14th, the village was in French hands with 46 German prisoners of war. But it was a short victory because at 09h30 the French received the order to withdrew : the front line behind them was disrupted by continuous enemy attacks.
