Historical Background:
After a long static period in the bocage, the 29th US Infantry Division was ready to advance toward Saint-Lô. But, in the night 10th to 11th of July, a strengthened company of German paratroopers of the 3.Fallschirmjäger Division attacked the positions of 1/115th Infantry regiment, using flame-throwers. "A" Company was destroyed but 1/115th, split into small battle groups, resisted by fighting in close combat and the German assault was contained. In the morning, the battle was over, but the losses were heavy for the two belligerents.
